The next step

I have worked from the live nude periodically since the early 1970's. This blog started August 9th, 2012 in my second year of working almost exclusively from the figure.

In the fall of 2015 I reintroduced still lifes and an occasional cityscape into my painting repertoire. Rather than abandon this figure blog or start a new one I decided to add them to the conservation.

All drawings and paintings posted on this blog were done entirely from live models or on location.

A Village

Art has been my solitary sanctuary since I was very young. When a model is involved even private sessions aren't solitary. Group sessions offer an unparalleled place to share the expense of a model and exchange ideas. For many years I have been attending long pose sessions at The Art League in Alexandria, VA. I owe great deal of gratitude to the artists who keep these sessions alive and so graciously share their passion for the figure.
