Flamenco

This is the finished version of one of my earlier posts. It began as an acrylic, then I added oil in later stages; on gessoed hardboard, 24" x 18".

Lisa

Lisa takes elegant poses and holds them so well. I did this drawing with charcoal on Ingres-type paper. Thanks for stopping by!

SOLD

Modern Aphrodite

I have always admired the way models tirelessly hold a pose so that artists can draw and paint them.

I once did a series of Aphrodites in several different media and then segued into the modern beauties who posed at life drawing groups, especially those with tattoos and piercings. I found this one the other day and it reminded me how much I enjoyed that series. This painting is acrylic on gessoed board, 20" x 16".

Another Nude on Black

This is another in the series of Nudes on Black. It's oil pastel on Borden & Riley black pastel paper. I love doing these because they are quick and loose - my favorite way to work.

Celia

This quick portrait is done with watercolor crayons on Borden and Riley paper for pens. Celia is an acquaintance who has been a model for drawing groups, so holding still for a portrait was no problem for her.

Nude in Gesture

This is of course a quick little drawing with charcoal - my favorite way of making art: drawing without really thinking or focusing on any one area. It's about 14" x 4".

The Antique Vase - monotype w/oil pastel

I used oil pastel over a monotype that I did from life years ago. It's about 9" x 7". This is one of the monotypes in which you lay paper over the inked plate and draw. It's good for teaching drawing because it doesn't allow corrections very easily.

Thanks for visiting my blog!

Butterfly

The little girl in this painting couldn't believe her good luck when she was surrounded by butterflies and one actually stayed in her hand for a few seconds. This is oil on gessoed hardboard, 7"x5".

SOLD

Here Comes the Parade!

This is a Fourth of July painting done for the Daily Painters Gallery - all with red, white and blue. The painting is oil on gessoed board - 7" x 5".

Blondie - nude, charcoal and pastel

I'm probably cheating here, since this drawing is many years old, but everything I'm working on is either still wet or not completed. I used charcoal and a little pastel on toned paper for this drawing.

A little news: The North Light book, "Strokes of Genius, The Best of Drawing", is now available. I am thrilled that one of my drawings, "The Model's Musings", is included with all the beautiful work in this publication!
