Drawings almost every day by Romney David Smith and Tarragon Smith. Occasionally paintings or etchings or silkscreens. Or whatever else catches our fancy.

Danae
This is a proof of a large etching, about a metre squared, made on aluminum and hand tinted with watercolour. The luminescent colours were achieved by limiting my palette to just the three primaries, laid on in twenty or more washes, with each being allowed to dry completely between coats.
The title, of course, refers to the Greek myth in which Zeus, imaginative as always, took the form of a golden shower.
