To see PRECIOUS – A Journey Through Life with Water by Herron: https://youtu.be/CS8nTyCL10w A labour of love. Long in making and long in the waiting.

Finally, after about 17 years since the last drawing I did for “PRECIOUS_ A journey through life with water”, I have completed the closing drawing. Written on the page is the excerpt that inspired the project: “How did he love this water, how did it delight him, how grateful was he to it! In his […]
