Joanne


This proved to be a difficult study. My friend was sketching with a spotlight above her head. Her face was dimly lit, but the paper she was drawing upon reflected back into her glasses & tri-focals. Her glasses also reflected a crescent of light onto her cheek. I need to continue this pose and take more careful observations within the darkness. Something is not quite right, but I cannot pinpoint the majoe crux of the problem. Any suggestions?

Country Living 1


SOLD to a collector from Jasper, Indiana
Several years ago I was between Laramie WY & Ft Collins, CO and there were 52 mailboxes all lined up in a row along with square newspaper boxes. The mailboxes seemed to take on a quaint charm of city row houses and I did several large pastel drawings of the scene. Here I have made a "snippet" ACEO 2.5 x 3.5 original acrylic done in a folk art style of the scene.
