“Grandad’s Story”
graphite on paper, 33×25cm
This is how my pencils render love.
Thank you for patience ( a whole three weeks of patience) have a lovely week-end.

Here is the reason for my couple of days of silence.
I spent a few hours last week at the drawing board with Amelie, working on rendering her expression, her baby skin, her fine hair and flowery cotton dress.
Progress is good but slow…I am absolutely loving this to bits and not rushing or cutting any corners.
After the more dramatic and speedier technic used for the soluble graphite- comparable to speeding down the German motorway: thrilling, stimulating as well as a little edgy. This piece can be very easily compared to a leisurely stroll down a quiet country lane where one just has to take the time to smell the (wild)roses and watch the butterflies flutter by.
Mellotex paper and 2B, F & 6B pencils are the tools I’ve chosen and this simply because you cannot in anyway rush this paper and it allows for soooooo much detail.
A few more strolls down the country lane are needed (and will be taken) to complete “Grandad’s Story” . I will be posting more steps over the week (with a few key explanations).
Before I say my cheerios for today, please let me extended a great big hello to all of you who have added themselves to my “followers” (great to see you!) as well as all my other visitors who’ve had a wee peak here at Black on Grey on White: there have been over 3000 in the last 6 months…. I am humbled…
Thank you

Changes are coming in smaller details. This work in progress painting is for a special art exhibit in Wooster called Mosaic Art Exprience. The title of this will be “Faith Like a Child’.
I often paint animal faces but enjoy faces of all kinds! I have particularly enjoyed painting this beautiful little girl. I hope you enjoy watching it develop. To see finished artwork by me go to

Here’s my ‘work in progress’ painting update.
I am calling this ‘Faith Like a Child’ for reasons I’ll explain later. This painting will be part of the Mosaic Art Exprience in Wooster in Oct. I am hurrying to get it done. This is still fairly rough but hopefully you can see where I am headed with it.
