      Back to model again, I painted Mike the first time that I attended the portrait night group, posted here. He brought his 16 year old Italian greyhound, Gretta, with him to pose this time. She was sitting in his lap and I had originally wanted to fit her into the painting after I had Mike taken care of, but I decided not to at the last minute. I think it would have crowded the picture a bit too much and I'm happy with this one the way it is.

        Just by chance, I happened to get on a drawing spree of several of the regulars, the people that frequent my favorite little coffee shop. Everyone in the first two images goes there at least every other day.

          And this is my sister's dog Brandy. I know three pit bulls very well and despite the stereo types, they are all the nicest, most calm dogs I've ever known.

            Love the softnes of your lines, colors and volumes.
            Beautiful portraits you make, you achieve really strong emotions on them.

              This is a Monday night portrait that I hadn't gotten around to posting for a while. I ran out of time on this one, so the composition is a little sparse.

                Local jazz singer Tish Adams was back again for a Monday night portrait, this time in a great antique hat! You can see my fist portrait of Tish in this blog post.

                  Just a quick post here to note a few exciting things as of late. I've got a two page feature in the current issue of ImagineFX Magazine! Check it out...

                  Also, I was notified earlier this month that my painting, "Four and Twenty" (pictured left in the above spread) has been accepted to the Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles annual Illustraion West 47.

                  OK, I'm done with the self-aggrandizement for now. I'll post some art next time, promise

                        Somehow in the last month I got distracted by a few things and I hadn't gotten out to do much drawing. I was feeling a bit rusty but I'm getting back into it now. It's a constant endeavor, use it or lose it.
