Lavender Nudes - original ink and water soluble crayon drawing
I held a Penstix ink marker pen at the end next to me, so that I couldn't control the pen very well, plus the cold press watercolor paper with all those hills and valleys also makes the job a little more iffy. SO much fun to do - I can get a looser line and somehow it's just so satisfying to my soul. Don't know what it says about me that I don't like to be in control - just an artist for ya, I guess. It's about 9 x 10 1/2". Thanks for stopping by!

Tango in Blues and Greys - original watercolor pencil figurative drawing
More of my latest obsession - the lines and softness of watercolor pencil - this stuff doesn't behave, which is part of the fun. My fixation will pass - but in the meantime, I'm loving it! This one is also on Yupo, about 11 x 8". Next time I use the pencils, I may use gessoed paper just to see how that works. So many choices, so little time. Thanks for looking!

Flamenco Frenzy - original charcoal figurative drawing
After watching a flamenco performance, I scribbled from memory some of the "poses" - I guess you'd say. I got on a roll with these, so you'll be seeing more of them. Using one of those boxes of vine charcoal in which there are varied thicknesses, I completed - a version of completed, anyway - many 11 x 14" drawings. Do you ever get started on a project and just not want to stop? Well, it was like that with me and was so satisfying. Lots of squiggly lines add up to time well spent for me. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Jive Crazy - original charcoal figurative drawing
Listening to lots of jive music today, just couldn't help drawing this little couple - they're loving the oldies! It's on 6 x 6" Bristol board paper. Thanks for stopping by!

Sketch of Boxers - original oil pastel figurative drawing
As a little kid, I watched the 'fights' on TV with my father - a brutal sport, I know, but I admire the superb conditioning of the contestants. I'm thinking about doing more of these drawings, possibly long panels of them. This one was done on carton paper, 7 x 5". Thanks for stopping by!

Sketch of Shari - original oil pastel portrait sketch
The model was tired, I was getting a bit weary myself, and I think the feeling is reflected in this quick drawing. I used dark green Mi-Teintes board, which seems to give a looser feel to oil pastel drawings. It's about 10 1/2 x 12" - thanks so much for stopping by!
