Dance of the Three Graces? Forest Dance?
Here is preliminary pencil work for a new piece, a return to images of dance. I am planning to keep the line work simpler than in some pieces posted recently, so that the line work can be screen-printed onto watercolor … Continue reading

In the Garden: Work in Progress — or Finished?
At the present moment, I’m not sure whether to watercolor this one. If I don’t, it is essentially complete. On the one hand, it is very strong as black and white. There is a real danger that color would distract … Continue reading

Work in progress: “At Home,” inked
There is a brief hiatus here between free-lance jobs, which has allowed a little time for work on things dearer to my soul. I’m calling this one At Home. She will have a sky full of stars above her when … Continue reading

Evening Dance: Color!
Here is Evening Dance, with watercolor. Forty years of work with drawing the human figure are finally coming together. Again, this is sized so that I can transfer the B+W line work to a transparency and do silkscreen prints, watercoloring … Continue reading

At work: silkscreen with watercolor
This is where I do drawings and watercolors. You might call it the Light Studio. The Heavy Studio, which is also the Dark Studio — where I do oil painting, etchings, and now silkscreens — is at the other end … Continue reading

Dance #2: Sketch
Here is preliminary pencil work for my next watercolor. This will be the same size as Carpe Diem, and will also be done as silkscreen/watercolor prints. It will also have a border pattern. Speaking of silkscreening — I am happy … Continue reading

Dance 1: Pen and ink
Cool, cloudy spring day here. Pleasant, except that the whole day has been one long tug-of-war between free-lance obligations, and certain other projects, closer to my heart. So here’s the pen-and-ink stage of the current piece:
