Quick Sketch of Alan Posing in Class

Pencil and White Gouache on Brown Paper,

6" x 8" , NFS

This is a quick sketch of Alan, one of the best

figure models I've ever known, in one of my

favorite quick sketching mediums - mechanical

pencil and aqua-flow brush with white gouache.

Fun! The lovely brown color of the paper didn't

come through too well in the photo, unfortunately.

Liz's Reverie

Oil on Board, 6 1/4" x 7 1/2 SOLD

This is a portrait of a young woman who used to model

for my classes several years ago. She was a very good

model, and a very nice person, though a little taciturn.

She left for the Peace Corps - I think she went to Morocco -

and that was the last I saw of her. She had such an expressive

face. Wonderful to paint.

The kimono was lent to me by a good friend, and is from

the 1920's. It is really wild. It only comes to the waist, and

then has fringe that is about 18" long, all along the hem.

I think it was meant for the boudoir...........

Thanks for visiting today.

PS. I did not do this painting in just one day - I cannot

tell a lie.
