NEW PORTRAITS

 I am trying to draw people with more expression. The drawback of having models sit still, is they often look a bit glum, and their natural personality doesn't come through. I watch them when they are talking, and add a little smile or parted lips.




This woman is a hoot, but she sits very still (good), and tends to look very serious in her portrait.





Katy is a smiler 24/7, so no problems there!



Miranda too, has a lovely face in repose. I could draw her every day...

SMALL WORKS AT ABEND GALLERY

I am very happy to have several paintings accepted in the small works exhibition at 
Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado.

each of these little guys are 4x4", oil on linen.
