The Wilderness

Mixed medium 5"x5"
The Wilderness
The study of Kurt  Cobain

Subject: Musician who formed the Seattle based group Nirvana during the “grunge” era in the 90’s.


Medium: Pen and ink, assorted pictures of the woods.

Concept: To make a portrait of a talented musician who struggled with many demons, including depression, and drug abuse.  I enjoy all kinds of music including alternative rock and grunge. Label it if you want, but music is music. Talent is talent, no matter what. And it is especially sad when a talent so young is gone. He was lost in the wilderness.
