"Andrew and his JJ" oil 12x12 inches

My nephew Andrew is a wonderful pianist.

My approach was to have both realism and impressionism on the same canvas. I admire the work of Jennifer Gennari so I spent time on JJ's face, surrounding him afterwards with loose brush strokes.

Conté pencil.

"Glass of Flowers" w/c 8x10

I saw these flowers jammed into a canning jar and rather liked the effect. My flowers are somewhat abstract.

Partial Pencil study

I love pencil 'cos it's so honest and non-boastful. Even a little hint like this one can be so rewarding. I just love art.

"Moonlit Birds" charcoal 5x7

I actually saw this then sketched it in charcoal. No, I don't think it's sinister or anything, I just see it as an extension of an artist's experience - if you're (say) a portrait painter in oils it is educational to use a different medium, what you learn does visit back to your home genre - portraits in oils for example.

This was from an ALF's paint out a couple of weeks ago. 

I set up thinking I would be done before 

the wind really got up...note to self, 

you know nothing about when and 

how hard the wind will blow...
