One minute quick sketches

wow.. i almost forgot how to upload to the blog.. let alone draw.

some quick studies

these are quick life studies 1 - 3 minute. It's not about getting a shoulder or elbow in the right place. It's about the act of drawing. Capturing the spirit as Karl would say. Stabilo aquarellable on animation paper.

Last of NY postings

I collected several pictures of christmas windows in NY. Some of them, I even got the window dresser which I hesitate to post, since I don't know the names of the designers. But these are two from Anthropologie midtown. Also a drawing of what I saw of Central Park from hotel window.

Man about to be married

this is a study for a painting called "Man about to be married II". I painted another "man about to be married" 20 years ago and I only have the slide available. It was a large oil painting similar to "Man with gas can" which I painted around the same time. Oil on canvas 70 x 84" (in two panels). The study (30x22") is stabilo aquarellable on strathmore plate bristol. I plan to do either an oil of this, or a large watercolor. Thank you to TB (an actor- but really was about to get married) for posing.
