Red

Red, graphite and oil on paper, 26"x34"

On Sunday, June 24 I was awarded first place in the 1212 Gallery Exhibition for the Arts 2007 for this piece, "Red." I started with a graphite drawing, then added color with oils. I love working with the figure and experimenting with color.

Portrait of S.

Portrait of S., Oil on panel, 21"x14"

My goal for this piece was to create a classic portrait of the model, Sienna. I'm pleased with the likeness and the serene quality I was able to capture. "Portrait of S." was juried into "Exhibition for the Arts 2007" at 1212 Gallery in Richmond. The show runs through August 5.
