Happy New Year!! Look for me in a couple of magazines this month.  Southwest Art has a feature on figurative work which includes my painting “Locket”.

American Art Collector did a write up for a group show at Brandon Michael Fine Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico.  My painting “Vanity” is included.

Lately, I have been going out Plein Air painting  with my friend William Wray. He is one of the most influential and best painters around.  Painting from life forces you to paint quickly and honestly, and is a good reason to get out of the studio.  Here are some examples of the industrial type scenes we have visited.

This page is going to be dedicated to the work that I am currently doing. Below is a clip of a drawing I did with powdered charcoal on strathmore 500 hot press paper. Most of the drawing involved removing the Charcoal with a Kneaded eraser or a brush. It is a really fun way to draw.

Some of the tools I used for the drawing.
