 Best use I've found for the Stock Exchange section of the newspaper....... other than starting the fire.

I find skulls fascinating, I wonder why.

Gwen Buchanan said...

I do too ... maybe because they, are us.

We wrap presents in newsprint and they are always drawn upon.

Love the sketch...and your thoughts about the background!

Thanks Seth, I guess it's obvious I don't have investments.

Linda H said...

Haha, you are too funny. I think most of the newspaper these days is not much use, other than as firestarter or for drawing upon... Lovely skull.. if a skull can be "lovely"?

Gwen Buchanan said...

Thanks Linda, you must not read the same ones I don't read.

A skull on the financial pages: are you a seer?
I haven't drawn with charcoal in some time--but your lovely drawing reminds me how luscious the blacks are!

Laura, Funny how things happen and you see them the next day in a different light.

There is an old poem by the great Scottish-Canadian poet Robert Service called "The Munitions Makers" in which he wrote :

"Be not by Mammon cowed"...

Seems pertinent. Love this skull ! Am sharing to FB, simply beautiful !

Gwen Buchanan said...

Owen, you know your Robert Service. Great line!
I am honored that you are sharing my work, Thank you!!

After seeing this, I am going to buy the Economic Times. Not to read of course.

And the way the shapes create an abstraction in Black and White is simply wonderful.

Gwen Buchanan said...

Haha, Thanks Priya, so you have some of this particular drawing paper over your way too.

We scrounge & use newspapers to line the cats tray - I think that gives you an idea of the journalistic quality of most daily papers!

Skulls are always so intriguing and we have several animal ones hanging to the trees in our garden. Ha' they keep the christians away :)

Gwen Buchanan said...

Heron's view... cats litter box .. ah ha it does have its uses. I probably freak out a few people with the number of skulls I have on display in the house. But I like them. I'd feel right at home in your garden.
