Suspension File Trees

These drawings were created after a trip north along the Hume. Just north of Albury were some bare paddocks where the stubble had been burnt with a few trees on the the crest of the hill.
These were drawn on green suspension files, an interesting colour as a ground.


Charcoal, pigments, lamp black, medium on card (suspension file)
each 36 x 46 cm

During drawing classes, I discovered an image of 'Eagle Warrior', an earthenware and plaster statue from the Aztec culture c.1480. This was the inspiration for the following pieces.
