When I draw the work comes together like a jigsaw. All the works are constructed in much the same way. I use several images to bring together the final work. Usually its about getting the subject matter exact...this time I couldnt resist having a play ..... Anyone who has worked in theatre would know this senario would never happen!....Can you pick it? What I wanted to show here are the different things a nurse might be do in theatre ..I wanted their heads/ figures to line up in the scene... This setup is wholly ficticious!
