Turning our backs on 2017

Here's hoping the coming year is a better one.  Less craziness, more sanity.

Lady B from my last session of the year

Really enjoyed working on this one, especially the lost edges and the area around the rib cage.  Just a lot of fun here.

Cowboy Jeff

A real old sketch of Jeff from a session that I can't remember the purpose of.  A painting I suppose.  Here's hoping everyone had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends.

Merry Christmas

See y'all on Wednesday.  Hope it's a wonderful holiday for everyone.

Fechin inspired sketch

I asked our model to take a pose similar to this classic Nicholai Fechin painting.  It was a joy to work on.

Delicate little head study

A couple pops of white conté help with this minimal study of Lady E's face. 

Takin' a load off

Another one from '15.  Great angle and movement in this piece.  Even the splayed arm keeps the composition flowing.
