    Good piece. Like the limited lines giving direction to the washes.

    That sure seems like the perfect color for a "Thinking Man." The hair and the roundish face seem right, too.

    Thanks, Banjo.

    I did more than one drawing of this model, and in each pose he seemed intense.

    are you back in class again? It's been a years absence. Have you been continuing with your art during your blogging hiatus?

    always love the line work and the subdued palate

    Thanks, PA.

    I was making the move to Chicago. I don't have a class but I do have access to open studios.

    I was drawing during the hiatus fairly regularly. I saved some and may photograph and post some of it, later.

    Yes. Calls for winter clothes and really good boots. But right now, it's hot, so I already have the clothes for that.

    Oh, I like this. He looks like my idea of a mid-20th Century intellectual.
