It’s quite a lot of fun.  

While we’re at it – having fun – here’s a couple Oil Pastel Sketches I did earlier this year that I did not have online.

This was a sketch I did of a Cow’s Skull at the Brooklyn Artists Gym early this Summer.

I did this study of windows at Brooklyn Artists Gym in last spring, earlier this year.

 

I did this nude study about 2 months ago but re-photographed it and felt I got a better shot – and I wanted to point out that if I left out the breasts on this very sexy model – she had little or no breasts – being an athlete and runner – but the perfect body …and that’s what I was trying to capture.  Also…her face…well….I’m painting energy – I tried to paint her face but could not focus on it ….I was more interersted in her legs and fantastic muscle tone.

Ideally, I’d like to have focused more on her face ….also, had a lot of back and neck pain that day….I had to really focus to complete the sketch – not sure how I did it.

 

This is the very first study I did at Brooklyn Artists Gym last May. I had been driven back to painting by feelings I had no other way to channel.  It feels so good to paint.

Time for Bed.
