In an effort to occupy two large spaces on the back wall of the cafe I wanted to a pair of large drawings using imagery from some smaller drawings that I did last month (photos towards the bottom). I typically don't work large and the original drawings appeared in my mind at a small size. The more images that I came up with on paper the more I started thinking "big". I had been looking at monumental bronzes and related imagery at the time so I guess the larger, life size concepts of heroes at rest started sticking in my brain.
I hope to make more of these. The panels are actually inexpensive luan doors from the local home improvement store. $23 for a painting support... can't beat that.
