Gerber – WIP
Sticking with my "Painting a Week" I started this painting for my wife. It is large enough, 19×26", to cover the electrical panel that sticks out like a sore thumb on our wall. The composition is simple enough that it can be completed rather quickly. Given my time lately, though, it may not be complete for Sunday. If that is the case I will post a painting study of some sort to keep up to my goal. Here is a most recent close up of the...

I have been using Unison pastels for most of it but yern for some pastel pencils to get in all the detail I would like. It is 9×12" on sanded LeCarte paper. I will post more later… UPDATE: added newest...

Not exactly a pastel painting, this piece was an instant favourite to me because it brought to light a subject that was not considered appropriate in his day and age. Bold, blunt and full of expression, it tells nothing but the truth. One can not hide from it nor should one ignore it.
Read MoreBook Review – Harley Brown’s Inspiration for Every Artist
After waiting for two weeks this book finally came in the mail. Greedily getting the package in my hands I eagerly opened the parcel.
