from photographs The human counten ance in its wide range of expressions and concrete items hold much more interest for Mr Griffin that scenic landscapes His work Is quite detail and one pen and ink drawing of a mouse seems to have every hair drawn in His portraits are equally detailed I trying to express more feeling In my work so that when a person looks at It they get a feeling a mood he said
