Daily sketch #38

This is a sketch of an actual cast skull done by my friend Sharon Long of Laramie, Wyoming now from Reno Nevada.  The process for producing these skulls is her own creation and she worked with many from the Archeological programs.  I am honored to have one of her pieces.  This guy was in the Civil War and received an injury which lacerated his skull as witness by the groove above the left eye.  He lived for sometime afterwards.  This is the first time that I have attempted to draw him.  I am learning and growing with the process of crosshatching which I now love.  Paintings are coming!!!

VANITY SOLD

I LOVE 'girl' things like lipstick, perfume, nail polish bottles, and pretty little compact cases. In this painting I was working for limited strokes. I would lay down the paint and leave it without manipulating it in any way. 6X6 inches oil Raymar canvas panel (Archival)

LITTLE ORANGE TEAPOT SOLD

Red Orange is another of my favorite colors. When I saw this great tea pot in one of the stores in town I wanted it right away. But, I thought and thought about it and when I went back to the store it was still there and I decided that it was mine! I am not a tea drinker but I have always loved the shapes and sizes and variety of design of teapots. In this painting I backlit the teapot with natural and studio lighting. I was experimenting with the changing values and shadow. 8X8 inches oil Raymar Canvas Panel (Archival)
