Thursday, July 12, 2018 at 01:26PM Last week I started a new Vanitas drawing. This is #15. All in graphite. I have not completely figured out all the visual elements yet and am still looking for a right object to place in this image.
Saturday, July 7, 2018 at 02:36PM I am going to be a part of a group show by Ohio Art League called, "Inside & Out: Vanitas" at Griffin Gallery, Gahanna, OH. When they announced this juried show, I thought it was just perfect to show my Vanitas pieces. So I entered and got 2 pieces accepted. Below are those pieces and the DM they designed using an image of one of my pieces.
Friday, June 22, 2018 at 02:37AM Just finished my latest piece from the Vanitas series I have been working on for a while. This is #14, done all in pastel on Arches board. 18" x 12". Initially I was planning on doing this in graphite but I changed my mind after realizing that this composition really could use strong chromatic contrast to enhance the dramatic effect. I think it worked out well.
Wednesday, January 24, 2018 at 05:47PM I finished Vanitas 12 (renamed from Vanitas 13) today. The final dimension is 10" x 9.5".
Vanitas drawing, graphite, nudes, pencil drawing, vanitas art in drawing Sunday, January 21, 2018 at 04:28PM I am taking a little break from Vanitas 12 I started last year. Instead, I have been working on a small drawing: Vanitas 13. Today I finalized my composition. I am going to add a cherry underneath this drawing. The final dimension of this piece is going to be 10" x 9".
