Three ladies

A sketch from a magazine article about a tragic event. no date but I will say it was 05

Sketch from a painting

This sketch wasn't labled so I'm guessing here. I remember this sketch as one I did from either a photo or a painting that my mom did. I think we were just trying to work out some tonal patterns. I'll update this if my memory comes back.

Probably from 05

Model with her hair pulled back

Another sketch from the 03 sketch book. This one is labled Glamor Magazine. So It was probably drawn from a color photo from that magazine.

Mona

I found an old sketch book stuffed in a drawer from 03.
I spent two week in Paris and that really got me energized. In the days ahead you'll see some of the sketches I did there. and some while I was in route. Enjoy and comment.

Early 03 sketch of Our Lady of the Rocks

To me Sketches like this are much easier than Plien Air painting. I can study a piece like this and feel every bit of the texture of the skin, the hair, the emotion. With Plein Air the experience is alot more immediate, somthing I'm not completely use to yet. The challenge is to work, work, work,
until these sketches come from history into the present.

Young Jody in Clay

This is Jody. I used a gray clay as you can see. The texture is a little different than the brown clay. Both work great for this kind of work.

Clay Portraiture

These three sculptures were done for a Collage class. It was my first introduction to clay.
