What is the definition of 'design'? It is an arrangement of lines and shapes created to form a pattern. 'Au Naturel' is being in a natural state. Luther encompasses this exploration of shape, line and form. I took photos as Luther, a French Bulldog lay on a shaggy rug basking in the sun. The direct sunlight accentuated the bulging shapes of skin and geometric ears. As did getting up close to his face. I selected a few photos and proceeded with my thumbnail sketches. I tranferred my drawing to my canvas and blocked in my first of many layers. When I achieve rich and vibrant colours I will sign.
