Looking On

Looking On

Sketched these short poses in a session back in April as the model watched someone else.

Forest Vision

Forest Vision

Searched through a forest

said to cover ruins of better times.

I wasn’t able to find either.

When tortured enough by the foolishness,

ghosts step out in front of familiar trees.

They argued like I wasn’t there,

torturing each other and me.

It was enough to realize my stupidity.

Better times would not be found in a forest

smart enough to hide ruins with arguing ghosts.

A doodle sketch while waiting again, searching for anything not really there.

Afternoon With "EL"

Afternoon With “EL”

So yesterday afternoon I did these sketches of “EL” enjoying what she wore on her head, almost as much as the poses.

A Pleasant Morning

A Pleasant Morning

I sketched “EL” this morning. This is from one of her longer poses.

18”x 24” graphite, sanguine and chalk on craft paper.

Quiet

Quiet

Some quick sketches, one from a session in Edinburgh, the other two in a session with “B” here over the summer. I remember the sessions. I know there was noise, probably some music too. I only remember the silence portrayed so well now.
