Here is the figure drawing I'm currently working on during evening classes at the Safehouse Atelier:
 

 
This is graphite on smooth paper. I like how this is turning out.
 
A little rearranging on the website. I think it's a bit easier to peruse through paintings in different categories now. Check it out.
 
There's a new feature on my website. I have enabled Facebook "Like" buttons on each painting in the site galleries. Hooray! Feel free to "like" some of your faves ;).
 
Hmmm I think it's time for some still-life action.
 
Until next week,
