I drew this at last weeks Satruday Drawing Class and I just completed adding the watercolor to it. I may put this in the "Figure Show" that is coming in March.

"Hands on Demonstrations"

Oil on canvas, 11"x14"
This was done at the Woodlands Art League "Hands on Demonstrations" last Saturday at the South County Community Center. I painted along with Annie Walker as she demonstrated how to paint glass. Annie was such a wonderful teacher and a I had a great time painting along with her. Mid-day I took a pastel class, (Children's Portraits in Pastel) given by Kim Abatti and learned some great techinques. After that, Susan Hotard demonstrated "Painting Human Features" (nose, eye and mouth). The whole day was a wonderful experience and I was quite inmpressed on how well all the workshops were presented and how informative they were.

I had the wonderful pleasure of painting Lauren. She was such a lovely model and I would love to paint her again sometime.

"Pete Playing His Sax"

"Pete Playing His Sax"
Charcoal on paper, 24"x18"

Ahhhhhh, another painting of Pete!

We had Pete pose for us again and he was such a joy to paint and hear him  play his sax again.

Two Figures

Charcoal on paper, 18"x24"
It was interesting and a challenge to draw these two models.
Especially with their arms entwined.

Pete the Sax Player

Oil on paper, 21"x15"

I am very happy with how this painting turned out. Pete was an excellent model and musician as he would play his saxophone between breaks.

Snow Day

Today was a great day as we got snow today! I was able to go visist my grandkids and play in the snow with them. We had a great time having snowball fights. I will be back in the studio tonight finishing up one of my small blue nudes. I now have 7 total and will begin another series with a black background. I am excited to see how those turn out. I am using my quick sketches from the Saturday Drawing class, and it is difficult to choose which ones to use.
