Vitruvious



paper stained with tea, graphite, burned at the edges, approx. 14x24"
A tribute to Leonardo da Vinci 
I wish I could have met the man. His ways of handling art is so unfathomably amazing!

The thought behind this piece was the idea of perfect proportions, but I included the idea that a bird's wing span, which is generally 3 1/2 to 4 times the size of its body from neck to the meat of the tail (excluding those with long necks).
