Another Standing Nude - charcoal drawing


I seem to be doing lots of nude drawings lately, but the rest of the story is that I'm actually doing a number of paintings that will probably be submitted to shows and I just haven't had time to do the little daily paintings. This nude is charcoal with touches of white pastel on Strathmore 400 drawing paper. The image is about 12 x 5". Thanks for looking!

Another Seated Nude - charcoal drawing


I loved this pose - the model was so at ease with herself. It's charcoal on Strathmore 400 drawing paper and is about 11 x 10". Thanks for visiting my blog! SOLD

Treasure Hunt


Little children can find the tiniest of treasures. Maybe this little girl's delight was a pretty pebble to give to her mom. This oil painting is 6x6" on gessoed board. Thanks for visiting my blog!

More Tango Romance - original oil figure painting











This painting is a little larger than I usually post - it's 12 x 9" on Gessobord. This pose conveys a lot of what tango means to me - the man in control and the grace of the woman as she executes a difficult step. And the way they look at each other. I love tango! Love it! Thanks for looking.

Lucy - charcoal portrait drawing from life


I would love to have the time to draw this young woman for an hour or so - or I should say, I wish SHE had the time to sit for a longer time. This was done with General charcoal pencils on Strathmore 400 drawing paper. It's about 9 x 7". Thanks for looking!

The Applicant - original oil painting


I think this young woman was waiting for a job interview and seemed a little tense. Who hasn't been there? This painting is 7 x 5" on Gessobord. Thanks for looking. SOLD

Nude with a Fan - charcoal nude drawing


While I was away on a short trip, I dropped into a drawing group and this is one of the pictures I did there. The model really was holding a fan, but I only suggested it. This drawing is about 11 x 7 " on Strathmore 400 drawing paper. Thanks for dropping by!

Nude on a Blue Cloth - original oil painting


This was a tough pose with the model's left leg in that position - however, she held it without complaint (with a break, of course). I love back poses - they can be a challenge to paint, but then, isn't everything? Or so it seems to me. It's 7 x 5" on Gessobord. Thanks for stopping by!
