Life Drawings & Figure Paintings
A collection of figure drawings done in pencil, charcoal, or chalk pastel; figure paintings done in watercolor and oil, and oil pastel.
From life drawing classes with Karl Gnass, Glenn Vilppu, Bill Perkins, Diana Coco, and Bob Kato.
The clay sculpture of my left hand was done in college when I was 19.
