Sunday Morning at the Palette and Chisel in Chicago

My work in place in the Small Gallery at Palette and Chisel.

The exhibit runs through June 15.

The gallery is one of the former drawing rooms in this 19th century mansion.

The largest light-filled space, used for classes and for open studios with live models, is on the third floor, where the mansion's ballroom once was.

Sleeping in Gold and Purple; Artists and Model

This week, I was in Chicago and got the chance to visit Palette & Chisel .

These sketches were drawn from life, at P& C's open studio, May 14.

P&C conducts an outstanding open studio, with natural north light and superb ventilation.   I was traveling and brought only small sketchbooks and a few pens and pan pastels.  But the studio is well designed for oils.

Sketch is on watercolor paper, about 5"x8"

Sleeping in Gold and Purple is pan pastels, ink, Tombow marker, brush and water.
