Roll out



After five years of work, the triplane is rolled out for a test flight. A somber moment as it was rebuilt by a group of volunteers short on skills, but long on enthusiasm. Everyone hoped for the best. The plane worked perfectly.

Copy of someone else's work
























A very fun painting to copy mainly because of the splashes of colors and the very loose style. I loved the attitude of the subject as well.

Corpus Christy - 2010















An original painting I did of a beach pavilion.
Hmmm, maybe it needs a dancing girl....

Capri - 1912
















All the greats learn their techniques by copying the masters.
This is a favorite of mine by J.S. Sargent. I hope I did it justice.

Prom dress


The dress has a life of it's own.

Cute Bee


The joyful costume is contrasted by the bland expression.

Hmmmm


Costume day in the ol' drawing lab.
