This is the life….drawn by L K Southward- Iconic Art UK. Original graphite pencil sketch.
Emotive piece of art drawn in Graphite Pencil…L K Southward- Iconic Art UK Nominated for ‘Pay it Forward’ by Andy Mueller IPA “I have so many favorite works of art on the bubble that it is tough to narrow it down to just one. But every time I see this one, I know it is the one piece that triggers the most emotion out of me. So, I’d love to submit my Pay It Forward to a wonderful British Artist L K Southward and her graphite pencil drawing called “This is your son”. Every time I see this drawing, I have tears welling up in my eyes. It is such a strong piece of work, and she clearly is a very talented artist.” Featured in the group THE EEG on 9th May 2009 Featured in the War – lest we forget group for the 141st Memorial Day (1868-2009) Featured in the Pencil Drawing group on 13th September 2009 Original drawing sold on 29th April 2009

Pencil on paper (arches) drawing (ORIGINAL ON HOLD) This is about having a lot to say but being cut off from being able to say it. That’s why her hair is so noisy. (grin) I’m serious! As a funky T / As a framed T / AND, as a mug if you pop over to Zazzle: /
pencil on paper (Stonehenge) drawing – 22×22” – ORIGINAL SOLD / Signed and numbered limited-edition prints in two sizes are available at cynthia’s store There are so many stories to tell about this piece – wild coincidences, terrible tragedy and ultimate redemption. / I still don’t know if I can tell them all here now, but if there is one take-away to be had, it’s of the power of vulnerability and trust in oneself in the face of daunting odds… / I’ve included a not so great shot of me with the original. I had it framed so it was floating on suede. Here it is after receiving a Best of Show honor along with “Ennead”. detailed version of Event at RedBubble Please check out the numerous T’s with this drawing featured in my clothing section. /
pencil embellished limited-edition print of pencil drawing “Heliotroped” / (The original drawing was done on standard white layout paper – in a spiral bound tablet – I had to draw it twice because as I went I smeared it and had to redefine the lines the second time out.) See if you can find the poem that was tucked into this print and then sent to me anonymously. Update: Aug. 2, 2009 / I finally located the entire poem today. It was on the back of a Klimt postcard given to me at the same time the print was. / Here it is: .......................................................................................................... “When I met her / she lived, / isolated, / on a narrow lane. She had a wrought-iron fence / with a black rose growing through the gate, / locking it. The rose was groomed beautifully. / The gate it seemed had been locked for years. She would say little about the gate. / But she seemed very proud of the rose. / Eventually, she accepted a gift from me. / The gift was a white seed. A white rose now grows, wild and resisting any grooming. Still, she regards the rose with fear and awe.” .....................................................................................................

pencil on paper (taken from a pad of “drawing” paper from the early 80’s) drawing Another oldie! / Ah, those big eyes I was obsessed with BACK THEN. / Well, friends tease me and say it will be considered one of my “periods”. What you can’t see is that there is a whole top layer of trees that were drawn on the black background and when you look at this from other angles, they are visible – just quietly – like a subtle varnish. This is all about different phases of life borrowing the term of growing to fullness, or “waxing” of the moon. / My name actually means: Of the moon – or lunatic – you pick which fits. hahha! (Original for sale. Email for serious queries.) / You can see it behind me in this overexposed shot from a solo show I had: /
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: / >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> For RedBubble products, this cropped version: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> AND, at Zazzle, this mug /
This is a night light that I made using a very old drawing of mine “Little Wing Lost”. I cut it into pieces and attached it to a large base I made for it. I then added some branches and a smaller lower box for her chest. I cut out some of my own prints and magazine images and secured them to that. Behind, inside the base, I stuffed it with white lights. Then I wrote over her entire face and neck. My husband was making cookies while I was doing this – watching me – and he said, “Stop writing down everything I’m saying.”, which of course, I was doing and didn’t stop. It took top honors at a regional show a few years ago but now resides in my studio. Here’s a shot of it at the gallery with me next to it for scale. It’s about 5.5 feet high by 2 feet wide. / At night when it’s lit, there is a simple silhouette that shows through the face. (below) / (On the floor – lit – but not dark in the room yet – just showing you her full size) / And in my Clothing section, this T for thee… /

Autumn 2009 – pencil on paper This was created using 2,4 and 5B’s (that acted like H’s) on a non-marked cotton rag paper that acted like a cranky toddler. 8.6” high x 11.75” wide This is the very naughty paper I bemoaned a while back. / I really wish I knew the name of it so to avoid it at all costs the rest of my life. But anyway, enough of my moaning, it’s done. This was a hard one to title. I really couldn’t figure out WHY I was drawing it in the first place. I started out a few months ago making it very large – 30” across, but that’s when I had a fit and tore the paper in half. The catholic in me had to find redemption so I took a little bit of it and decided to try it again. The image wouldn’t leave me alone. It was strange though – it didn’t want to title itself. It typically shows up close to the finish, but even just a few days ago, it was not here. Humpf. A few tried to flirt with me. Didn’t work. I thought I’ll just let it rest. Until yesterday, when life and it collided. A friend sent me that quintessential Anais Nin poem for other reasons and I knew that I must take the first portion of it for my title.. And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin / US (French-born) author & diarist (1903 – 1977) ......................................................................................................... And suddenly, it all made perfect sense. So bloom my dears, bloom… / (smile) (I’m very happy to report that a slightly cropped version of this was included (and sold) in the Australian Mirrors Art Exhibition) This photo below was taken November 1 at The Anderson Arts Center where the framed original made its debut. /
A somewhat modern take on two of my older drawings – one, VERY old, Waxing / / married up with the face from To Know Clouds / / with some further atmospheric changes… >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
