Fallen from Olympus I


 Often, when I'm on "minding" duties at an exhibition, I do a bit of drawing in the quiet moments. Which is nearly all the time, to be honest. The people who spend more than a couple of seconds in front of a work risk being immortalised by me. I enjoy this kind of drawing because it's hard getting an acceptable picture in so short a period of time.

While doing this I thought it'd be worth revisiting something like the print Pictures at an Exhibition from some time back. I thought I could make a frame to fit some of the postcard images I've done and use a mask to use the same thing with a number of viewers.

So this is the first of what may be a few. The postcard dates back to 2021.

I might also dig out the block from Pictures at an Exhibition and cut out the woman in the floral dress to re-use. I may also try colouring these with brush and ink. I'll have a go on one of the least successful prints and then decide.

 I thought the title might reflect both the art and the viewer being at least in part more holy than they first appear.
