Description
Coloured charcoal pencils on beige A3 paper.
An experiment to see if I could cope with the pastel-like medium when the messy bit is trapped in a wooden pencil. I don't get on with ordinary soft pastel AT ALL!
Oil pastels, now, that's a different kettle of fish.

I do love this a lot! Is a majestic painting, Andrea! Feels like a 3D image. You gave to it a great depth. It is an excellent blending and choice of colors and composition--its placement in the support makes it still more imposing. Thank you for explaining how you used the medium too. AND I feel hypnotized for this 5 eyes---always feel , when you do this eyes,lol !

"Oil pastels, now, that's a different kettle of fish." Or maggots and leaves. I'll make it unanimous, this is stunning work. The eyes on the left look like they belong to birds.

I loved this the minute it went up. You've done pieces like this from time to time---I don't mean pastels, but the conjoined organic forms and beings, swirled into a single entity. I agree with you entirely about pastels: The sticks are a dust machine; they shred everywhere, and rarely in the right places. (Even the hard sticks, like Conte's.) Pencils are the best way, for some of us, at least. (When Helle first tried them, I warned her. But dammit if she didn't make terrific art the first time out. The medium didn't stop her a bit...)
This has the concision and intensity of a pencil drawing. Great modeling, using greens and blues for depth, reds on top of the ball, yellows at the edges of leaves. And very dark outlining, giving it a strongly articulated feeling. And the convolutions of several creatures swirled into themselves is intense and vital: It feels like a vital ganglia of life. Of course, your fans love your eyes. And it all opens up with a swirl of branches, on top, like a calligraphic curly-q. Also, I love the hue of your paper, and the shadows on it, or its coloration. A masterful drawing, Andrea. Terrific organic 'meeting'...
(For modeling space via hues, I don't know if anyone has impressed me more than Cezanne: He'll use reds or greens on the bottoms of fruit in ways that knock me out. And he'll throw in a 'stroke' of this or that hue, to accent it. A painter friend, years back, used to show me these strokes in the Art Institute ((where they have several very famous Cezannes)), and she'd say: "To die for, just to die for...")
