Heliotroped with 2008 tattoo
pencil embellished limited-edition print of my pencil drawing Heliotroped
This was also done for a benefit exhibition where it took Best of Show. I cut out a portion of a print of my drawing “Heliotroped” and wrapped it around the 12×12” block of plywood. Then I embellished heavily with more pencil work. Very fun.
Here is what it looked like completed:

Believe it or not, I have seen “Helio….” in its original form. No need to discuss how or why. Why, my dear, did you feel the need to embellish such a courageous and, if I have my history correct, ground-breaking piece of work?
Cynthia Lund T... replied 10 days ago
Ohmy. I’m trying to recall all the places it’s been. I love that you saw it for real. New York? The Surrealists show?
To answer your question though, when I first began drawing again, I picked up where I left off after high school – with The Big Eyes and exaggerated features. Twenty years later, my tastes have changed and I no longer feel the need to slam the viewer with those scales. I liked the idea of quieting it – of having the essence remain, but in seeing how much could be added/camouflaged – to still allow it to peer through. Does that make any sense?
