9x12 oil on panel. Done very quickly from a reference.

sl16

another stolen light production, 9x12, oil on canvas.

still tinkering. 12x12 oil on gessoed panel. These photos really help in seeing where there are problem areas in the painting.

SL15

a quick fairly small pastel.

far and away

9x12 oil on panel done from a reference photo. Still tinkering.

Jennifer and an anonymous model

One from life drawing and one from a reference started at a workshop.

spring rain

from a large format landscape workshop. After the fact it was said we could use any images or studies? Done with an acrylic underpainting with oil over the top.

Check out the artist Gil Dellinger from Stockton.

here is a better photo, not lined up correctly. I monkeyed with it a little last night (edges, etc.). The colors are correct now.

Rainy day

kinda ugly but I was trying out some things. about 9x12 oil on canvas.

Olio

a drawing of Jessica from Life drawing and a portrait from a reference photo. I need to work larger at life drawing.

sleeps

yeah yeah a little eroticism. I liked the look on the one woman's face and had to paint it. I've added a portrait done at life drawing of Susan.

a portrait from life drawing and a painting I'm working on. Both are 9x12 oil on canvas.

glance...

Greta again, oil on panel, 9x12. Still tinkering....

I started this many moons ago and set it aside for about a year or so. I was upset it wasn't right. So I went back to work on it recently. I thought I was done with it but it still wasn't right. I think it is close now. I may put in real hands still.

in angst1

One of those ubiquitous portraits everyone and their sister has tried drawing and now me too. Pastel on paper. I like the thick, rich creaminess of this.

Jennifer

some 20 minute poses from open session life drawing. It is strange how things progress from the first drawing to the last. I liked this paper I was using. It is a laid paper. It might be more the color that was nice. The texture is more smooth than canson.

Yield

14x18 oil on panel from a reference. I just wanted to see if I could do with the light what I was seeing the light do?

Old Pals

Freckles and Margaux
14x18 oil on canvas panel

batman returns

a work in progress from a reference photo from the Muse. Trying something I saw in a magazine technique wise or something Arnie said...

Mel

oil on canvas, 9x12. From open session life drawing. Melanie!

Stolen Light 11

another stolen light production. Still tinkering. Need to work on perspective or at least try harder to get it right. It wasn't really that important to me, well, not until I look at it and see how far off it is. Had fun with the bricks in the wall. The hands were, are, a bitch as always.

with Glasses

charcoal and conte on newsprint. At the Muse, the only Muse.

501's

I Couldn't resist using this reference. 9x12, oil on canvas panel.

in angst

An allaprima portrait done over the course of a night and day. 9x12, oil on canvas. I used a fairly limited palette with more reds than anything else.

A few charcoal/pastel/conte drawings and a small 9x12 painting. I'm still tinkering with the painting.

chartreuse muse

9x12 oil on canvas panel. From a reference.

Jen from open session life drawing, conte and CP on newsprint! 20 minutes.

9x12 oil on panel, not quite done. Don't especially like the dress color wise. I kind of like the flesh though. I will update this soon.

another stolen light production, oil on panel, 9x12.

tbd

From a reference, 14x18 on a panel. I had to paint a motorcycle someday. This motorcycle actually belongs to the model! I'm still tinkering with this one and will post a finished version in the future.

a few pastels

some recent drawings from open session life drawing.

echappe in violet

I'm still tinkering with this. 20x24 oil on canvas.

echappe

9x12 oil on panel. I may redo this in a larger format.

thinking of one

a hard reference to paint from as the light was seemingly from the front limiting contrast. I liked the pose, face and foot. Oil on panel, 9x12.

Jen

Jen from Life drawing done in pastel. Great shadows on this woman. Not that I've done them well.

Anonymous/Trespass

A couple of paintings from my watercolor sketchbook, 4x8 inches.
