1000th Nude!!!


title: Martina Seated In Semi-Profile, Looking Left
size: 13x19 in.
medium: watercolor
price: $500.00

This is another painting is from the summer of 2007, right around the time I started this Blog. This was also the last time Martina modeled at the Society of Illustrators. This was at the time, and still is, one of my favorite paintings I ever did. It has its flaws, some due to drawing errors and some due to the 20 minute pose restraints, but they don't diminish my affection toward the piece.

Thank you everyone for frequenting the Blog and those select few for your patronage. Here's to a thousand more drawings and paintings.

Happy Labor Day!

medium: watercolor, pencil
price: $150.00

Labor Day is the unofficial end to summer in the United States. In New York, a lot of places close for the month of August and people of every stripe take their summer vacations. The Society of Illustrators closes in August for renovations and I am forced to find other means of getting my figure drawing in. Unfortunately (or fortunately), for the past two years I have been swamped with freelance work in August. So I ended up taking the month off from figure drawing. I spent most of August putting up old sketches from the sketchbook. Today is another oldie (another version of a painting I posted over a year ago). But I'm glad to say that the Society of Illustrators Jazz & Sketch starts its Fall Season tomorrow. I'll still post an oldie tomorrow but will have new drawings starting on Wednesday. Thanks for staying with me through the hot summer months.

Sorry for being MIA in the comments section. I've been swamped with freelance work.
Also I haven't done any new drawings in over a month. The Society of Illustrators was closed all of August for summer break, and I couldn't find the time to go to the many other life drawing sessions around New York. But just in time, SoI Jazz & Sketch opens its doors tonight at 6:00 PM and begins the Fall Season. I'm probably quite rusty by now, but I'm hoping to get back into the groove of things sooner rather than later.
