As much as I love painting in detail there’s something that always lures me back to the simplicity of a black and white line drawing. Some feel clean and come with clarity, others are full of twists and tangles like a busy mind.

Unlike a planned painting I can never predict the outcome, so I’m always surprised with the expression that comes through with each drawing.

To honour the variety of personalities in this series I have named each after a friend or family member.
