In the gallery this week...

Our house, however humble, at least has a gallery.  Admittedly, most people would call it "the basement stairwell", but when you don't have a lot of space you have to make the most of it...

A sequence of 1-minute poses, well-suited to the the repetitive lines from the flat side of a black pastel stick.

A 30-minute pose, drawn with charcoal and black pastel on mylar, with the colour and extra black painted on the underside.  The composition gives the impression of a moon-lit mountain as you stumble down those basement stairs.
