Joe

"Joe" (pastel, 7x5 inches) $250 framed

Back to the little cows, etc! I just finished the largest painting I've ever done (not this one, lol) You'll see that later this week. So now I might have time for a few new littles before I head north for my two July workshops and the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair July 20-23, 2017.

Joe was actually done from an old underpainting I found on top of my desk, and could no longer find the photo reference, so I looked up a couple of similar cows and finished him off anyway.

 The photo on the left was closer in the light on the face, but the photo on the right was closer in the pose so I mostly went with that one.

Thanks for watching! Please share!

A Warm Spot (and the IAPS workshop)

"A Warm Spot" (pastel, 8x8 inches) $350 framed

Another one to be with me at the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair July 20-23, 2017.

This is Mewler, our cat, when he was about 4 months old. I started this one as my demo at my workshop at IAPS last month. It just took a few tweaks to finish.

This was how for I got in the demo.

Speaking of the workshop, here are some pics of some of the talented students and their work!

Yes! I had Casey Klahn in my workshop! Wow! A bonus demo for the rest of us!

(There's Casey, second from the left...)
