24th Annual McNeese Works on Paper

These are two mixed-media pieces on paper that will be in the upcoming 24th Annual McNeese Works on Paper Exhibition in the Abercrombie Gallery at McNeese State College in Baton Rouge, LA. These are images captured from much larger oil paintings of mine that are printed on fine art paper then worked into with pencil, colored pencil and pastels.

Go Figure

This graphite drawing on newsprint will be in the "Go Figure" show sponsored by the Santa Cruz Art League in Santa Cruz, California. It's very satisfying drawing the female figure knowing that the subject has been drawn and painted ever since man picked up a stick and started drawing, and is probably the most popular subject matter for artists of all time.
