    When in Rome, draw as the Romans draw.  There’s so much to emulate!  Here are some statues and models I have drawn these past two weeks

    Woman in Hijab Arch

    Many of the arches of Islamic architecture echo the shape of the upper body of the human form.  Here I have placed a face on that arch with this sketch in acrylics.   There is an example of an arch below the painting.

  • Couple on Sofa

    Couple On Sofa 

    Another in the Enamorado Con Amor/In Love with Love series.  Part of love is intimacy, but of course not all intimacy denotes love.  Here it does, and the couple sparkles in the play of light and shadow and smoke in a turn of century setting based on a scene in Downton Abbey.
