As an inveterate contour drawere I was just totally in awe at how somebody could cut contours like that in wood - especially with the foreshortening involved. I'd be amazed by somebody drawing like that in pencil!

I have a great book (quite old now) -A History of Wood Engraving by Albert Garrett, and I often spend a happy hour browsing through it. It contains a couple of early works by Simon Brett. Are you going to show us yours? I'm sorry I missed the Exhibition at the Bankside, however I did visit the RWS exhibition last week. Actually I was rather disappointed. Was it a juried exhib.? I did like the paintings by Dennis Roxby Bott, but I was not very impressed by some of the other work. <BR/><BR/>JenniAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
