"The Release" This unusual work is a revisitation of a composition done long ago when I was fascinated with the work of the surrealists. Here I've redesigned and refined the original concept until it is now a totally new work done in airbrushed acrylic, gouache, pencil, charcoal pencil, and pastel. |

"Kathryn" Being able to do well-crafted fine art portraiture in oils is considered the mark of a competent artist. In this oil-on-canvas rendering I hope I have achieved such a level of competence. You can be the judge. |

"The Sequined Shawl" This colored pencil portrait of a young lady peers at the us with eyes of deep brown, set in a lovely face that's framed by the beaded sequins of her shawl. Emphasis of the sequins was achieved by a flat appli- cation of India ink and silver enamel. |
|
"Diptych Number One" As the title implies, this unusual portrait is a two-piece work of art, using a perfume ad from a magazine as the basis. Split in two and mounted on separate panels of illustration board, a restorative positive drawing has been done on the left, while a restorative negative drawing was done on the right. |
|
"Cameron with Her Hair Down" The actress Cameron Diaz is the subject of this pencil portrait. Depicted with her hair down in an untypical, loose style that may seem rather unfamiliar to most of us. |
|
"The Fitness Model" Fitness model Carole Semple was the subjest of this figure study in pencil on acid-free illustration board. It was a challenge to capture the way she projected an aura of strength and beauty at the same time. |
|
"Penelope Revisited" This work was the pencil study for an earlier figure painting. I was so focused on getting her proportions and placement in the vignette correct that I never finished her face in my eagerness to start painting. After finding the incomplete sketch, I finally put a face on her. |
