Back to class

Sorry for the hiatus in posting. We are bck in Florida and I'm back in class. These are the first efforts. Not great, but whatever.....

Purple Orchids

I completed this little painting last night. It utilizes a wrap-around canvas and is painted on the sides so it does not require a frame. It is 10 inches square.

Latest from drawing class

The theme of last weeks class was "body parts" I did not choose the parts.

A quick sketch

I only had twenty minutes to do this drawing. It came out better than one I worked on for an hour. Go figure.

More hands

Another go in class at drawing hands.

Interesting Faces

It is more enjoyable to draw a face with "character", rather than a pretty one

Another Still Life

Continuing his tradition of unusual subjects, Kirk gave us this asian assemblage to paint last week. Actually I'm more pleased with this than the prior effort.

An Unusual Still life

OK so a pomegranate, a toy giraffe and a green vase is a weird choice for a still life, but it is what was offered in a class at Kirk's studio the past two weeks. I'm not unhappy with the result.

Getting in the groove

This was my second week back in class at Kirk Nicklas Studio. This drawing is the first one I am almost satisfied with. Now if I could get the whole figure on the page---.
