Ballet Slipper

I did “The Performance is Finished” when my daughter, who was on track to be a prima ballerina, decided her heart wasn’t in it. After years of going to auditions etc., I realized I needed to do a piece as sort of a farewell. And this is it. I did this on hot press Watercolor paper with Faber-Castell drawing pencils.

The print is available as a fine art print on beautiful Hahnemuhle museum-quality paper.

Abraham Looked at up and saw a Ram in a Thicket

I really wanted to try and capture this Scripture which tells of Christ’s role in man’s life. I wanted to show the fear in the Ram’s face.

Normally, I draw with a very light pencil so the lines can’t be seen through the paint. Here I’ve darkened them (in Photoshop) so you can at least see them… the bottom of the drawing got so dark, I had to eliminate it… (more…)
