A couple of sketches from some time back.

Lizzie's Progress in the newtown

Experiments with a black ground.. hoping to produce effects similar to block-print slash mezzotint. Probably unfinished (i.e. expect another version). One further question at this point.. who's Lizzie?

While I was drawing the images which served as the basis for this painting, I was thinking about Swine Flu and weird undiscovered microbes and fungal spores and so on. When I was painting it the other night, though, I started remembering how when I was a kid I read some WWII war story or something which involved the torrid, insidious dangers of floating mines. I could clearly remember what I had imagined at the time that they looked like -- and that was something remarkably similar to my 'cluster' of 'microbes'. Of course, the real thing is more functional and less fantastic, but there you go.
