  • Portrait of Van Gogh as a Young Man

    I did this pencil portrait from a photo of Van Gogh that was hanging in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.  It’s a bit hard to believe he was ever this healthy in appearance.  His self portraits reveal his struggle for mental health and artistic achievement.

  • Carmen Stretches

    Carmen Stretches, pen and ink, 21 x 29 cm, 8.25 x 11″ SOLD
    Carmen is one of my favorite models. She’s lanky, a ballerina with great stretching poses.  As you can see, this had to be quickly done.   Sometimes you get the best results when you do not have much time.
