oil on a wooden panel 50x50x5cm

I use oil pastels, oil sticks, markers, scrapers charcoal, pigment sticks, newspaper, and graphite as well as gold and silver leaf, to make marks whichever fits the moment. UV protected, Signed on the back. The work is on a plywood panel and is ready to hang. No further framing is needed.

There’s a place I go, inside myself,
Where nobody else can be,
And none of my friends can tell it’s there –
Nobody knows but me.
It’s hard to explain the way it feels,
Or even where I go.
It isn’t a place in time or space,
But once I’m there, I know.
It’s tiny, it’s shiny, it can’t be seen,
But it’s big as the sky at night …
I try to explain and it hurts my brain,
But once I’m there, it’s right.
There’s a place I know inside myself,
And it’s neither big nor small,
And whenever I go, it feels as though
I never left at all. by Dennis Lee
