Only remaining piccy until I find my archive...

I hadn't realised that I'd dumped or given away so much of my stuff...

Well, this is the last until I track down more pages....

This is another Louise Brooks, but charcoal and chalk on white paper. This version has been tinkered with in Paintshop Pro since the paper has yellowed to the point that the chalk no longer blends, and shows up quite separately, instead as part of the picture (you'd have to see the original to understand the true horror).


Brooksie Two


I have dropped the picture back into monochrome and digitally softened the closer cheek to get round the problems with the now very yellow paper. Picture appears about 33% original size and is all the better for it.

I like pastels, chalks and charcoal; but they don't half make a mess!

It's not art if you don't get your materials smeared across your nose!
