Recent Ball-point Pen Drawings

Great folks!
God bless you more for being there always.
My apologies for absence from blogging these past months, a lot has being unfolding behind the scene. Glory be to God for the blessed, wonderful, encounters.

Below are some of the drawings I was able to put together:

1. "Love-Birds"

" Love Birds ", Ball-point Pen on Paper, 24.5 x 37 cm. 2020.

Commissioned Portraiture in Ball-point pen on paper. the rendering took about 96 hours before it was ready for ink-print. Quite a rewarding encounter!

2. "WOMENFOLKS"

" Womenfolk: Dialogue behind the walls" Ball-point Pen on Paper. 50 x 70cm. 2019.

 

The theme is a dialogue on one interesting aspect of the ideals of African womenfolk. Average African woman finds it convenient to either gist or argue each other out over feminine issues as she goes about the daily household chores that involves others within or outside her immediate family.


3. "LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER"

" Like mother, like Daughter", Ball-point Pen on Paper, 24.5 x 37 cm. 2019.

A chronicle of feminine seed transfer from mother to daughter.

Daughter has her secrets... the mother has hers, which would not be divulged to anyone... 

yet she insists on knowing what is behind the daughter's veil.

Quite generational!

Thanks for being there always great folks.

Regards.
