This piece is from 2001, simplified from a photograph taken looking up at Saint Anne’s Cathedral in Belfast. I was working quickly using various shades of compressed charcoal. Although the drawing has it’s faults, I think it does project a certain energy. It’s good to look over old work from time to time.
This is really cool!
Reblogged this on and commented:
You just have to love the shades applied to this Cathedral. Well done John!
Very nice!
Your great use of shading makes the image pop, very cool.
It is good to take a second look at older work — it’s sort of surprising, especially if it’s something that was a “quickie.”
Nice image!
cheers
