Skinnydipping 30 x 20



I have always loved Zorn's outdoor nudes and wanted to try that same subject matter.
This was done from a series of studies that I did last September.

and modelling,with a sable brush,putty eraser and vine

The painting measures 15 x 18" .The view is in Place du verdun,
just a two minute walk.It faces the sunset.I tried to capture the moment

Richard III



This portrait of Richard Smith was completed from
my 3-4 hours study and photo Reference.
I used very long brushes which allowed me to paint
from a distance of about 1m.It is something I used
a few years ago and it lends itself to a more painterly
approach.
