Laura standing
48"H x 32"W
This was completed in a 6 hour model session. I thought the pose was a little static so I wanted to make sure I caught all the lively qualities that I saw in the gesture and in her curves. I believe I succeeded and then she feels like she's in motion or getting ready to move. Charcoal on grey paper with white highlights.

Steve study
28"H x 14"W
This is an academic study of a Chicago model well known to artists. It was painted from life over many sittings. It is painted without color to emphasize the form, anatomy and light.

Oil wash drawing of Robert Fortunato
24"H x 12"W
This is an oil wash drawing of a regular model to the New Jersey art scene. I wanted to make a quality painting but only had a couple of sittings with him. Instead of going into full color I thought it would be more effective to make a wash drawing and add just a little white at the end to add a little coolness to the otherwise very warm palette. The 12 x 24 size is one of my favorites as well as the red I used in the painting- transparent oxide red. It looks good on its own and requires very little mixing.

Nude of Arielle with arm on wall
24"H x 18"W
This was from a one day open model session in my studio. She's a terrific model with lovely curves. I love the whole shape of this with the outstretched arm. her shape reminded me immediately of the Lucas Cranach's "Eve" from his "Adam and Eve" painting. (google it and you'll see what I mean!)

3/4 nude sketch
24"H x 18"W
This was a one hour sketch of one of my favorite male models at the open model drawing and painting sessions. He has a Michaelangelo like quality to his poses. A heavy, sculptural but graceful quality to his poses. He also has the added bonus of knowing a great many poses from famous paintings.
