Up until now, all the Carbon Footprints still life drawings have been genuine discards from my own life. This one is a bit of a fib

There is NO WAY I would have left that much scrumptious toast and marmalade.

But I decided that this picture needed something organic and so I sacrificed the last corner of toast for the picture. There can be no great art, without great sacrifice.

Leave a title suggestion for a 5" mini print

Description : Still life drawing in charcoal and pastel of an empty marmalade jar, sticky knife and half eaten corner of toast.

This charcoal still life drawing is part of the “Carbon Footprints” series.
