And Tutu Too


Katie's tutu tonight at the drawing class needs it's own facebook page...it makes quite a statement! I'd sign up as a fan. Great dance poses tonight...despite a few limbs going to sleep. Drawing shown is 15 minutes. Long stretched out pose...I ran out of room for the hand.
Conte.

One Good Turn Deserves Another


Small crowd at the drawing class but the usual great poses by Erin H. I liked several of my drawings and have posted one here. This drawing shows a standing pose from the rear. Really nice lines here...loved the turn of the torso and the positioning of the feet. Conte and pastel...15 minutes. $250.

Old Glory


I had hoped to be finished with this painting by now but just not quite there. Detail of a large, 4'x6' painting of Fort Gordon GA circa 1942...in progress. Soldiers in formation before the old headquarters building...Old Glory flying. A memorial park and plaque now stand where this building was.

Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous??



Well, not rich or famous but I'm in "Lifestyles" magazine this issue. Atlanta area magazine highlights "life around the perimeter". Dogwood Gallery in Tyrone has an ad in this issue featuring my painting, "The Girl in the Red Hat", as well as works by photographer Gary Gruby and painter Olga Mosina. The magazine is free at various locations. Good read...very nice quality...great ads! Dogwood Gallery is located behind the Legacy Theater in Tyrone, GA.
