Children: graphite illustrations

Childhood 

when curiosity reigns

and happiness is a given.  

With this series I hoped to refresh the discipline that drawing commands, and portraits are the perfect challenge for that. Negative spaces are as important to the composition as the subjects themselves, and the eraser is used as a tool as much as the graphite.

Lucas At The Museum was part of the juried exhibition Growing Up and Looking Back – Reflecting on Childhood, Parenting, and Home at Gallery RFD in Swainsboro, Georgia October 12th through November 3rd, 2007.
