Hair


I seem to have more than a passing preoccupation with 'hair'.

Several drawings on my website are hair related and here is another. I drew it before I began, The Death of Mousey Brown ( which also features hair and a coffin).

This picture which, as yet, has no title, was probably the result of my reading recently about Victorian hair jewellry (necklaces, broaches etc with 'loved ones' hair incorporated).

Considering both death and hair I made this picture of a woman, sorrowfully, cutting her own. Each lock will receive a 'decent burial'.

I can think of another drawing I made quite some time back, which I should post here. I will see if I can find it.
