The Perspective (Greg Metzler)
"The Perspective (Greg Metzler)", graphite and ink on drawing board,
16.25" x 19.5"
I'm not certain that this drawing is finished, but it is for now. Hopefully I can at some point get a good scan of it and post some details, but for now this photograph is pretty representative of the piece.
Greg Metzler is a friend who is a marvelous photographer: mainly of nature, but other subjects as far a field as roller derby. He is a long time cancer survivor and a proven friend in time of need.
For me the image is reminiscent of the nature/park settings of paintings by Watteau, such as one also titled The Perspective. The title of the my drawing nods to that painting by Watteau, although it goes in quite a different directions here.
From my current Voice & Site drawing project.
