Figure Drawings of Terry

Figure drawings from Monday night at Riley Street Art Store in San Rafael. I tried to interject a little more color in my figure drawings. Here I'm trying out vibrant colored paper and pastels. We had a great model named Terry. Below are three 20 minute and one drawing of four 5 minute poses.

Terrain 2010, Landscapes inspired by California

I'm happy to announce the next group show that I am participating in entitled "Terrain: Landscapes inspired by California". I'm especially excited about this show because I've been painting landscapes en plein air seriously over the last few years. These are the seven studies that were accepted into the show. They were painted at various locations from the coast to the hills of the Bay Area. The opening reception is this coming Sunday, June 13th from 2-6pm at Studio Gallery and I plan to there towards the beginning. I hope to see you there.

Hooray! Finally, after a few months of aggregation, design, revisions and corrections, I have a self published book of selected figure drawings over the last decade from 1999-2009.
