Red Chalk • Sanguine

Modern Academic Nude

14"(?) x 24" oil on canvas

Painted during my time studying at SVA under the instruction of John Murray. He was a former student of Frank J. Reilly and taught via the "Reilly Method", which I also studied at The Art Students League under Jack Faragasso. This painting has a section of the raw umber wash-in still visible. The small figure is a color-note/poster, an essential plan for your picture.

Studies - Arms & Hands

9" x 12"




Study everything you want to draw or paint, whether you work from imagination or life. If you are unclear or confused about what you want to convey, then those that view your work will be even more confused.

Landscapes

both gouache on board 5" x 7"





Two woodland-scapes with dappled light. Painted from collected reference (sketches, photos, plein air color-notes), from a recent hiking trip.

Reilly abstracts & D. Hord

charcoal pencil on newsprint


Abstract conceptual studies of drapery, twisting and foreshortened form, and a study of a Donal Hord sculpture.

Chas Curran Clouds

Two studies of cloudy skies I did from paintings by the American impressionist Charles Courtney Curran. Note the subtle color harmonies possible with-in a color scheme. Though both depict the same subject, each has its own distinctive color base. The first is blue-purple and the second is blue-green, all other colors play off of these in each painting.
