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.

Frank Kirkpatrick, my father, here age 73. Today is Veteran’s Day in the US. He served in WW2, fighting the Nazis. He landed in Le Harvre during the invasion. He achieved the rank of Sargent. Thank you for your service to our country and our allies.
Carmen Stretches
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.
