Autumn Comes to the Valley

11" x 14" Oil on Panel

This is a painting made last week at a ranch west of town. Autumn colors in the mountains came and went in a hurry. Here in the valley however, Fall colors are just beginning to ramp up!

Lady Grey

9" x 12" Charcoal on Grey Paper

My drawing from last Wednesday's live portrait session. This portrait was drawn using charcoal and "charcoal white" pencils. It's fun working on grey paper.

Back to the Portrait Sessions!

12" x 9" Charcoal on Grey Paper

It's probably been since February that I haven't been to the weekly portrait sessions. It's about time I got back to them, so this week I went to both Howard Lyon's class and Casey Child's class. Shown above is the sketch I did at Casey's studio on Thursday, and below is the sketch I made Wednesday at Howard's studio. Both sketches were made with charcoal pencils and "white charcoal" pencil on grey paper.
