Back to the easel


I'm back in the studio, where I belong. Working on slightly larger pieces for the galleries. I'l be posting some smaller ones here too, for auction. Feels good to be productive again.

I'm calling this one Bathsheba.  I don't remember her real name, but she posed for me in Littleton, Colorado, a while back, and had a dark Mediterranean look, graceful and comfortable with herself. All I could think of was King David watching her from afar.

Bathsheba is a 16x20 pastel. Framed gallery price would be $2600.00.

  1. This is really striking! I love the subdued light and pose and the unusual colors for flesh. Also enjoy reading your blog and following your travels.

  4. I think it was when I was in your workshop Sep 2010, all the way from Scotland - I remember the model. Very graceful. This is a wonderful piece, nice to see you doing large work too! Wish I could have another workshop with you! finances not what they were, unfortunately!
