Drawing a lithograph
“I make oil paintings, drawings (usually in charcoal) and original prints (usually lithographs). Generally my pictures are to do with ‘people’. In some there is a suggestion of a narrative – perhaps implying that some incident (great or small) might have occurred. When I depict subjects other than people these are likely to be aspects of nature – acting as metaphors for human activities, or else nature profoundly affected by man
