Artist Statement
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.

The Driveway Art Sale looks like great fun! Like your drawing too and Bev's painting. Have another great day and I wish you all the best!
They're wonderful! What a great idea and fun!
I'm proud to own an original by Doris now!
You captured my essence quite well. I don't know how you did it with me looking down all the time painting you. But then a still life might have been boring!
Dueling portraits, an event I'll cherish!
