The Nest
Pen and Ink on paper
29″ x 23″ / 72 x 57 cm
Two figures, part human, part birds, love each other in a nest perched high in a tree. A story of love and beauty, this pen and ink is simple and elegant. The minimal gradient of the sky (tens of thousands of tiny strokes becoming lighter toward the horizon) contrasts with the complexity of the tree and its many leaves. A timeless and iconic expression of love and 8 to 10 months of work. This large ink drawing has a white mat and an elegant 2 inch wide silver and dark grey frame.
