"MAN & WOMAN"

I've been working on
larger paper lately, 18" x 24", this is one of my newer compositions ,cosmic essence of man & woman done in pastels with a gloss coat ,this is not scanned directly so the quality is not as good as the others.

I've just finished a piece using acrylic paint on canvas , the faces of three women one facing east one west and the one in the middle looking straight at the viewer , once I have photographed and scanned them I will put them up on the page , hopefuly it will be soon.
