Man In Blues And Greys; Reclining Man In Red



Drawn this morning, from life.

The large painting is oil pastel and acrylic paint on 20"x24" canvas.

The small piece is oil pastel on 6" square origami paper.

I will probably add some detail to the large painting, but I want to live with it for a bit before deciding.

  4. Laura, thank you.

    I'm especially taken with the little square, which I will likely crop to an even smaller rectangle. (The part to the right of the knee will be the part that goes.)

  6. I love that you did this on origami paper, which, always has such an elegance about it. You are very clever. I'm changing my mind again. The little origami one might be my very favorite.

  7. Thanks, PA and Margaret.

    The origami paper is so wonderfully goofy and incongruous seeming, yet I like it, too.
