I did a workshop for “Expressive Drawing” over this past weekend. This was one of the assignments – drawing past a confusion…. in charcoal….. Neither of these are things I would normally do, so it was a very good exercise. Thanks to Mark Kang O’Higgins for the encouragement.

Watch
I went to a Renaissance Fair and came back with sketches and photos. Some of them will make their way here.

Leda in indigo
Her name isn’t really Leda … but the picture called for that title, so there it is.

Portrait
This is a portrait of a guy named Squee. At least, that’s the name he gave me. Usually I see him in a crowd and very active, but just this once he sat quiet and watched me as I worked.

Another Drawing
A drawing done as a test of a particular paper. Think I’ll use it more! There’s something very pleasant in using something as minimal as a single pencil to get a drawing that works.

Warrior Saint
There are many statues on the streets of Paris, and I was particularly struck by this one. So I painted a part of it. The saint was slaying a demon/dragon, but I really was interested in the stance so that’s what I worked on.

What?
This particular girl reminded me of that old Toblerone ad.

Ab Somnia Mali
(according to my Latin Translator)
It has been a wild summer: moved my studio, finished up a 7 month course of study, had a small show. When I surfaced, I discovered that this person had kind of hijacked America. I felt a bit like I had fallen down the rabbit hole. This drawing was my response.
