I saw the wonderfully dreamlike
John Frame show at the Portland Art Museum.

| Sculpture and photo by John Frame. |
The lighting was beautiful on the tiny sculptures but that made it so dark it was almost impossible to draw. Luckily I was able to sketch four in the brief time I had.
The book about Frame's work is called
Three Fragments of a Lost Tale.
In reading it, I realized that I misunderstood what I'd posted earlier. Mr. Frame does title his characters. (Don't believe every thing a docent says! and fact check!!!)

ReplyDeleteThank you, Beatriz, Steve. It's rare these days that I simply draw for pleasure, usually it's ideas or explanations for sculpture.,,,but it all began with the love of drawing.
