Pastel on Kitty Wallis sanded pastel paper, from “The White Album” series. The tooth of this sanded paper takes many layers of pastel. I prime the surface with rust colored nupastel rubbed in with turpenoid before working. Inspired by the Beatles cover of Carole King’s tune of the same name. “Chains, my baby’s got me locked up in chains and they ain’t the kind that you can see, oh oh these chains of love got a hold on me, yeah!” In April 2007, “Chains” won round 2 of the International Saatchi Showdown Online Competition and was shown at the Saatchi Gallery in London.

Pastel on watercolour paper. Featured in 1 on 1: The Fine Art of Portraiture. / Featured in Works on Paper. Although my collaborating partners didn’t feel it was necessary, I needed to complete this piece … I have been fortunate to have done several collaborations with Mark, and I have never changed his compositions. I don’t intend on starting now :-) Poem by Kristina Strong like steel / Breaking through the wind / Forcing it’s way through the past / On to the future / A bond so volatile, so feared / A link, to join us all / We face the world and smile / We feel the barbs and spikes / We surround ourselves with white light / And drift in to the fate we have been given / United in love and hate / United in art and words / Unbroken, unaltered, unforgiven / We are the link

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) The Anderson Arts Center where the framed original made its debut… / This drawing will be at the booth of Marion Harris at the upcoming Outsider Art Fair this coming February in New York.
