Attitude

I finally am getting back to drawing from live models. This is a 20 minute Charcoal drawing on 24"x18" paper. Model: Sheri 12-5-11

Marko

Marko, is my youngest Grandson. Quite a character, with a ton of personality. He is a great model... he may even know this at the age of 2 years. this sketch was done from a phot at the park over lunch. The front seat of my car seems to be the best studio I have right now.

SELF PORTRAIT

I am not usually enamoured by phot's or drawings of myself. this was a quick drawing in an attempt to get into an art show, requiring some sort of self portrait. I like the more serious expression, probably never draw my smiley face...to corny for me. the details are just ok for my taste, shadows hit and miss, but with all that said ienjoyed drawing it in the end.

RACHEL AT 9 MONTHS

Another uick pose of Rachel. This was done on a light vellum paper with willow charcoal. easy to draw quick and eliminate mistakes just as fast!

Kari

I haven't been able to get to drawing sessions lately. Finally went again last night. Good model with great poses.

Vietnamese Girl

I have been invited to share my art work at the Bridging Hope Gallery 4309 Tennyson St., Denver. Please take an opportunity to visit this Gallery and Sen Nguyen the director.  Be sure to check out Bridging Hope Web Site above for the work they do in Supporting Women and children of Vietnam. http://www.bridging-hope.org/

Preliminary sketch for painting of my grandson

PASTEL WOMAN

Not a very creative name. I am trying to take some of the quick figure sketches I've done and create colorful pastels out of them. This was from a 3 minute pose. So I want to see how lighting, form, and if I can capture a mood in 3 minutes or less!. Gives me something to shoot for.

Reflections of a Mother and Daughter

The source for this is from aLiberian Refugee camp in Ghana, image from a friend of mine "Lucy" who volunteered at this camp. hard to say what these to ladies are looking at. Definitely focussed on the same issue the same way. while i have no price on this and do not have the exact information at this point, i promised some proceeds for sales of this work to go back to Lucy for support of these women she worked with.

Size 20 in. x 48 in.

Medium: Oil

REFLECTION

I made some new pastel paper using acrylic mixed with pumice and smeered on paper with a palette knife. this made a great background which made it impossible for me to overwork the pastels. This was good for me since I have a tendancy to work my pastels to mud sometimes.

Boxer

I know he's not a boxer, just named 'Boxer'. This is a quick sketch of a friend of mine's Bernese puppy. i am working on some dog drawings for a bar in Milleken Colorado.

Love My great Grandpa

This is a work in progress, I may leave this as is then redo it in little different style. This is my Granddaughter and my dad. Photo reference was take by my wife "Mother and Daughter Perfect Moments", and this sure was one! http://www.motherdaughterphotos.com/

There is the possibility of a new bar opening called "The Dawg" If i can get enough drawings together maybe I'll get to have an exclusive show for my art work. Have a dog...want a painting done? give me a call.
