This beautiful young woman is a newer model to the weekly portrait and drawing group that I attend. She has beautiful long red hair-which made it hard to work in black & white-and not use paint. Currently I am enjoying drawing so I can focus on the value and form. These drawings were done alla prima. (one session)

These are some of the portraits & figures I have created alla prima (one session) in the figure drawing & painting group I attend weekly. We alternate with a handful of beautiful talented models. This is the same model who knows how to stay in a pose. We draw/paint for 3 hours with breaks for the models. I like to work on toned paper when I draw. I use a little white charcoal for a few highlights.

I find that drawing or painting the nude back to be sensual. It can be harder to capture but I love the challenge. These drawings were all finished alla prima in a weekly life drawing group that I attend. All are for sale, inquire for availability.

These portraits were all done in one 3 hour session (each) alla prima. I feel like these oil paintings & drawing all captured different modes of my dear friend who posed. My favorite is the one below that I titled "Wild Man."

These drawings were all drawn alla prima; one 3 hour session each. In the weekly uninstructed life drawing/painting group that I belong to, we occasionally have two models as a treat. I find my drawing evening with friends/like minded souls is a day I look forward to. Life drawing isn't easy, but a challenge I love. I admire the models who can slip right back into a pose, even if it is uncomfortable.

"Companions" is an 8" x 10" oil I recently completed. It started out as a plein air in my backyard but was finished in the studio. I got too carried away with the intricacies of the wedding ring quilt to finish it outside. I love quilts and old chairs, anything that has history was most likely well made. This is the second clothesline/quilt I've painted-and probably not the last. Both paintings are for sale; Contact me for availability.
