Drawings of My Father

These drawings were created during my visits with my father (often while he napped) over a number of years, up until he moved to a nursing home. After he died (in 2016) I wrote about them here

All of the works are charcoal on paper of varying sizes (mostly 50 X 65 cm, 19.5″ X 25.5″, and from the years 2011-2014), except the following one, which combines charcoal and paint on canvas, and includes an image of my father and me, based on an old photograph.
