"Florence Windows" in progress...

Here is most of drawing for "Florence Windows"... just have to hang... I mean paint laundry and I'm done with rendering. I thought drawing would be easy compared to the human figure... boy was I wrong... those shutters kicked my a**! Stay tuned for more...

Nude study from the Bay Ridge Storefront drawing session

This is a drawing done in an evening... didn't quite get the curve of the leg right and wished I'd started drawing a little further up on paper... but overall I'm happy with results!

Beginning of "Florence Window" painting...

Here is rough start of canvas for "Florence Window", layed in some yellow ochre... cad yellow med, raw umber, bone white... just trying to make it look convincing and capture spirit of subject without doing a copy of photo... stay tuned.....
