The Three Toddlers

- by Gary Mulhall

"The story on Wendy’s boys – This was my first commissioned piece for a friend of my Mother’s.

Wendy has 3 sons who are in their 20’s now.

There is an age difference of 6 years or so from the oldest to the youngest.

She wanted a drawing showing them as a group, reflecting how they may appear together at the same age.

I placed the oldest in the center, the two younger ones behind as if to show the younger ones they were under the protection of the eldest.

She was very happy indeed with the final piece.

It was a graphite drawing using B through to 9B."

Flexibility in Life - by Gary Mulhall

"I drove past this tree many times and it seemed to catch my attention each time.

I would reflect on how the tree had managed to survive the years. How the posture of the tree reflected a great truth to me; there is strength in being flexible in life. We are better able to weather the storms, as it were, without breaking and cracking.

This was my first real effort with charcoal, and I enjoyed the contrasts it allowed for."

This sensitive drawing was done by Gary Mulhall.

He writes:

I am attaching my latest piece, it is called “Light Her”, a picture of my wife’s Grandmother, an English woman who recently passed away in her 90’s. She was full of character, life and a very proud woman (in a good way). I hope you enjoy.

Gary's passion is to work with graphite and charcoal.
