Lady Sings the Blues

Billie Holiday provided the perfect music for tonight's 40's themed drawing class. Model, Brandi H, was a lot of fun to draw and provided us with great poses and a great look. We had a good turnout of artists. Shown is a 10 minute sketch in conte and pastel.

Alex the Cat

A couple of sketches from last nights drawing class. One is a gesture drawing, 2 minutes each figure. Drawn with a "fat" sharpie on newsprint. The other is approx 10-12 minutes, conte. Alex P posed as a cat and did a wonderful job. October is "costume" month and we try to have a different character each Monday evening.

Cows Jumping Over Moons

Something a little different. I found this antique clock cabinet, missing it's clock, and did this oil on panel of a cow jumping over the moon to put in it. I think it'd look great in a nursery or child's room. Ready to hang on the wall or set on a mantle or dresser. Unique, one-of-a-kind piece priced at $385. Dimensions: approx 21"x14"x4"(shipping extra)
