Three studies on John Dowland's lute song  'In darkness let me dwell'

Oil, cold wax and dry pigment on Arches paper 16x31cm

'In darkness let me dwell; the ground shall sorrow be, The roof despair, to bar all cheerrful light from me; The walls of marble black, that moist'ned still shall weep; My music, hellish jarring sounds, to banish friendly sleep. Thus wedded to my woes, and bedded in my tomb, O let me dying live, till death doth come, till death doth come.' 

Three line drawings based on Debussy piano preludes.
