Glimpses Of Heaven #1

First in my series of slighly abstract obscure angles.
These are all deliberately loose in their excecution, in comparison to my usual highly detailed style.
Just branching out a bit and having some fun getting my hands all chalky ;)

Special thanks to my beautiful muse Claire O’Brien

Oh – very cool! What a unique angle!

Thanks so much! I’m finding I prefer the unorthodox angles, rather than traditional poses

Simon Aberle replied

Does that require cutting me into pieces?
Hahaha I’ll happily muse you for many different endeavours ;)
Ok right then…I better get to work!!!!
