Spem in alium finished


Well ... have learned things from this drawing. The starter is that the pen I was using does not use water proof ink as per the label on the barrel. Drawing would be easier if I started from the back next time. Seriously think of drawing a smaller size next time; A4 took around a
90 hours.

Spem in alium


'Spem in alium' by Thomas Tallis was the new CD played in my friend's car when we went for a day out in the Cotswolds a few weeks ago. Wow! Listening to this music and my mistranslation of the title as 'Hope in another' started me on developing a painting on my feelings about the evils of the fundamentalism of my local church, St Leonard's.

My friend has since given me a copy of the CD for a Christmas gift. I am most grateful!
I am curious about how you feel about being shown process shots of my work as it develop? I love seeing it an other artist blogs.
