Watercolor isn't my medium, but this was fun for a change, anyway.

Jive



This charcoal drawing is a silhouette exercise that I had fun with. I'm a firm believer in drawing exercises - and I really should take the time to do more of these.

Nude on Black Paper


This is another twenty minute drawing using oil pastel. I was working more with value than color.

Essence


Another life drawing. For me, there's nothing like a quick charcoal drawing to capture the essence of the model's pose.

Backward Glance


I love line - it's so expressive! While I really like to paint, drawing is my obsession.

Mission San Jose


This is one I did this past summer - pastel on coldpress watercolor paper.

Ricky's Chair


A knife painting of Ricky relaxing in his favorite chair. Oil. Fun.

Hill Country Path


Since I don't have a completed painting for today, I posted one done earlier. This path is one I sometimes take when I'm out for a walk.

Charcoal is such a wonderful medium and Joe was such a great model. I loved doing this one!

Reclining Nude


This is a 20 minute pastel drawing that I did in a life drawing group. I'm posting two today since I will be away tomorrow.

Edge of the Woods, oil, 14"x18"

I was lucky to be able to snap a photo of this deer before he bounded away.

Conversation


Not a model in sight today. So, it being a nice day, I took my oil paints outside and painted pictures of my lawn chairs. Not my usual thing, but fun anyway. 6"x6" on panel.

Woman with a Fan 2


An oil pastel - my absolute favorite medium - and a lovely model. I just hope I did her justice.
