Just Watching


Here's a painting from my drawing of some boys at a park. It was one of those fast and frantic drawings that only worked because they were actually still for a few minutes while they watched some other kids skateboarding. I didn't have my camera with me and anyway, I usually trust working from my drawings more than from photographs. Of course, there are times when nothing but a photo will do. This is done with very soft pastels and is 14"x15".

Roger



This is a 6" x 6" oil painting of my dog, Roger, a pound puppy who is a great little fellow. This painting started out from life, but I later relied on a photograph.
