Gesture Drawing: Figure 1
In our college life-drawing class we'd begin with quick gestures before getting in to the 30 or 60 minute poses. This is one of those gestures.
Begone Dull Care
This is a quick study inspired by my memory of this short film by Norman McLaren--the NFB-renowned Canadian (yeah!) animator and film director--that I saw in my UVic film studies class.

Pickled Ginger
Although I’ve named these paintings “Faux-Rothko . . .,” these actually are not Rothko imitations. I’ve obviously used a formal resemblance, but that’s where it ends.
Quick Study: Twins
The original painting is the second image down. It was a little dark and lifeless for my taste. So I rescued it in Photoshop with a combination of Selective Color, Curves and Black a& White. I don't know if ethereal describes it . . . spartan, maybe? No pun intended.
Spiral Studies
These are just studies. I'll post more info along with the final piece. Enjoy!
Quick Study: Holy Apple

Quick Study: Red Apple
This image is part of my “Quick Study” challenge. The first thing I do when I walk in the studio is grab a small canvas or board and sketch with paint for ten minutes—like stretching before running. There are no expectations of genius in these, just raw expression. You can learn more background information here. Enjoy!
Quick Study: Square Apples
I’m connected with the most amazing painter on Google Plus, +Lena Levin.She started a couple of challenges: “Chagall Challenge”: making a Chagall-inspired artwork (in any medium, traditional or digital) and posting it on G+ for virtual exhibition in December at +In Studio With The Masters. Any visual artist is invited to participate for a virtual exhibition in December.
