Inner Beauty

This drawing shows the illusion of notebook paper taped to some wood. The subject of the rose speaks to the illusion of beauty. True Beauty is always below the surface and true love is the ability to see the beauty within. The entire image was drawn, including the tape, paper, and wooden background..  It's 18" x 14" and rendered with charcoal , carbon, and graphite pencils. Charcoal for the wood, and carbon and graphite for the other elements.


"Inner Beauty" is now available as a 18”x 14” limited edition print. This is a limited edition of 750. To reproduce the extremely  subtle value changes in this drawing I am using a new method of printing called a Piezograph Giclee. The result is a high quality reproduction that is nearly indistinguishable from the original drawing. This printing method is a little more costly than traditional off set lithography but I feel the result is well worth it. You will swear that the tape and paper are three dimensional!

"Inner Beauty" is available in the following formats:
