Granddad at Great Point
My grandfather passed away this past September. I began this drawing of him preparing his fishing lures for an evening at Great Point, Nantucket back in 2007. After driving up to PA to say goodbye before he passed I began the "mad dash" to finish this drawing in time for the funeral. We'll miss him.

Giant Update (long overdue) Part 1

I have in fact been busy. Here are some of my commissions from the past six months (or so):





This one was one of the most detailed drawings, but I probably enjoyed it the most of all the commissioned drawings so far. The reference photo was beautiful and I drew this as fall was approaching. I love the interactions of the figures and, of course, the leaves all around.
details:












This was a friend of Mark's grandmother. Very difficult to paint from this 4x6 snapshot. Grandma Cleo asked me to emphasize Regina's blue eyes.

And my favorite commission of all time - a painting - will be posted soon! Check back after Christmas!
