Lazy Sunday afternoons and all things Beatles influenced...

Sometimes I come home and I have to express myself, for better or worse. I am an outsider both in art and in my personal life. Nature of my illness.

I tried to use my imagination for this, but I had to fall back on photo reference, to finish it. THe problem with the composition is I did not use a background colour. I did this about 3 years ago. Their are mountains in the background.

I think I will move onto the face next, as the face is by far the hardest element in the figure to get right.

When you are in this forest, you are lost, until the sun rises again to show the path out of madness. This was one of the first large paintings, that I completed. Its a strange thing because when I was painting it, i distorted the horizon line.The line should be level by right.

Practicing tone with different levels of pencil pressure I found very difficult to do because it requires an immense amount of patience and my hat is off to all of you who have mastered it. ⁀⊙﹏☉⁀

This dipicts what is inside of me.

An old lime kilin.These were used to make fertiliser for farming, before the introduction of chemical fertilisers. They made lime out of burnt charcoal.They are not used any more.

I did these a long time ago. Some of the first portraits I ever did.The origionals that I used for reference are by an Italian artist.

I was inspired to do this after seeing a work in a Dk art book.This is about the relationship I had in the past with my doctors. Today, I have moved past the fighting and I work with these people.

This dipicts our troubled relationship with nature.

Watercolor background with Ink pen. I had difficulty with the proportions.

Been aching to draw one of these for a while now! Can’t knock goblin sharks, that’s for sure.

Imitation of medieval illuminated manuscript in mixed media, having fun with my surname "Thorn".
