Praying Man 8" x 14"
Colored Pencil on colored paper
I am moved deeply by images of people praying - reaching out to God - seeking conscious contact with the One that speaks to their heart.

Red Stripe 10" x 14"
Charcoal and Conte Crayon on Paper
Here is another one of my drawings - this time incorporating charcoal and conte crayon. I tried to capture the idea of a young man who is a bit revolutionary in character, but deep in thought as he is reading.

Seated Nude
16"x 20"
Conte Crayon on Paper.

This is one of many nude drawings that I have done over the years - drawing in a studio with a live model. I tried to create a mood as well as render the figure in a realistic manner.

Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen
Watercolor
16" x 20"

Original has been sold. Giclees are available.

This watercolor is a portrait of an old lady who, at the time of the painting, was over one hundred years old. I found her face to be beautiful. I love to paint people of all ages but most particularly people whose faces show that they have been down a road or two and have survived times of trouble and sorry. She is a woman of great dignity and character.
