Sleeping nude

Here's a large drawing that I sold in last year's life drawing exhibition.

It was about four foot wide as I remember.

I've been drawing and painting small pictures for years and years, but now at last I seem to have realised the importance and impressiveness of working on a large scale, probably as a result of the Gulliver murals I did in 2006.

Of course when you are working towards reproduction in a book, this is hardly relevant, but over the years I have exhibited more and more, and the size of the picture is very important here, not least when it comes to pricing a work. 

There is also a great feeling of achievement when you create a big piece of work.
