Tribute to my most esteemed model, Sharon





These are three of the many pieces of artwork
I have done over the past fifteen years with
Sharon as my subject. She has been a never-
ending inspiration, and I just thought she
deserved a little bit of a tribute. The painting
on the top is not for sale, unless someone is willing
to pay me about $8000.00 for it (seriously).
The second piece is just some 2-3 minute gesture
poses on newsprint, and isn't in saleable condition.
The drawing above is in pencil on white sketch-weight
drawing paper. I did it as a portrait demonstration
exactly ten years ago. No one else has eyelids like
that. Her father was from Ireland, and I think it shows
in her soulful face. Thank you, Sharon.

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.
