From the model

Some more drawing selections

figurative work 2009

I have been attending an open life drawing class for five weeks now. It has been 28 years since I have done work from a live model, and during that time period I have rarely visited figurative elements in my work, so I have to admit that in the beginning, while rendering competent work during these sessions, i was not quite happy with my approach, and therefore not quite happy with my results. I have finally settled in and loosened up enough to grasp at the kind of drawings that I really want to play around with. Here is the first of what I hope will become a new body of work.
