Shadow Play III

Shadow Play III, Graphite on Strathmore 400.  22” x 30”

First drawing completed in eight months.  I had major quad fusion surgery in May and I could draw until the end of October I also could draw for four months before because the pain was so bad, but its all but the pain is all gone now

I want back to a familiar subject nothing particularly creative or narrative here, but it was a test to see if I could darken everything on the paper except of the highlights which I then left the white tone of the paper, if they would pop.  The bulb took around 40 hours to draw the background 50.    

PS left the pencils to indicate scale
