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.

Spiegel im Spiegel
Seumas McNally (1979 to 2000)I knew Seumas as a sweet, giggly and brilliant child. He grew into his good nature and genius until, tragically, cancer stole him from us just after his 21st birthday, in 2000.

Quick Study: Ugly Apple
Solo Series, No.4This image is part of my Quick Study Series and part of my Quick Study Challenge. Enjoy!
Eggs & Onions
Work In ProgressI seem to be allergic to detail--I refuse to think I'm incompetent--when I hold a paintbrush. Give me a digital stylus or pen and ink and I happily enter the dexterous realm of illustration. But unless the canvas is large enough for rendering detail with a big fat brush my fingers fumble unforgivably. So as much as I'd love this image to be finished, it's still a WIP. Sigh.
Ghost
Groans emanate from my studio when foreign particulate--dust, cat hair(!), and such--gets in my brush or on my canvas. Depending on how visually fresh or immediate the stroke is dictates the tone of the groan. The higher the impact of retrieval--a greater likelihood of ruining something wonderful--the lower the pitch.
