It's finally April and some treasures are showing up among the debris, I watched as these gems stubbornly refused to open the week long, but gloried in the new month and laughed at the April Fool's day snow showers!
Better late than never! Meant to add a few words as we begin the descent into darkness waiting for Easter, which by the way is rather late this year. But Fat Tuesday seems to be becoming a tradition with the Tuesday night group and was so happy to bring a pot of Jumbo to share. Jennifer brought red beans and rice and what again was the name of the Polish doughnuts that Ronnie supplied? It is so enjoyable to celebrate and draw at the same time. I've since added a lot of layers to this pastel piece and unfortunately did some overworking damage. I hope to get back to resurrecting the beauty I started with here.

Using my practice of quick poses in life drawing, I opportune to experiment with colors and differing line textures to recreate quickly the effects of light on the spiritual essence of the human form. My intention is to pull the viewer into following line, breathing with it's form, knowing it's actual beauty.
