AFTER THE SHOT

This graphite drawing captures a quiet yet powerful moment: a vintage side-by-side shotgun just after firing, while delicate ribbons of smoke curl from the barrels. The artwork celebrates traditional craftsmanship and beauty of classic sporting arms. Intricate engraving on the side plates is rendered with precision, contrasting against the soft tonal gradients that shape the steel, wood, and drifting smoke. The composition invites the viewer to pause in the stillness that follows action—a brief, contemplative breath between motion and memory. Each detail, from the subtle texture of the stock to the gleam of hand-engraved metalwork, reflects a deep appreciation for heritage craftsmanship and the artistry of graphite itself.
