Grace

2010-11-05T22:16:00.001-04:00

24"x18". Should be obvious.

Temple

2010-11-05T22:11:00.001-04:00

24"x18", graphite on nothing special paper.

Partly cloudy

2010-10-17T21:27:00.002-04:00

18x24", graphite. I always use HB automatic pencil 0,5 . No need to sharpen, you can get the deepest black, just patiently crosshatching until you get there. Drawing is not for hasty.

Past Perfect

2010-09-19T20:36:00.005-04:00

19" x 25", graphite on paper. Some colored pencils. Sold.

Flora

Pastel on black paper, first of a series of goddesses. Wish me luck.

My birthday flowers

2010-02-26T14:14:00.002-05:00

My family loves me. They know I do not like wimpy ikebana stuff: two stems and a dry twig. Give me my flowers in loud bunches as big as good sized brooms. This way I have enough subjects to choose and paint. Better yet, paint them all together. Here, then.

24"x30", pastel on grey Canson paper.

Vine

2010-02-18T17:33:00.001-05:00

One of my favorites. Couldn't bring myself to sell it. Silly, right?

INTRIGUE

2010-02-11T09:35:00.002-05:00

Drawing, 17"x14".

This dress actually exists. It was made for King Richard's Fair, from light blue and cream satin, with cream lace. One of the first costumes designed and made by my daughter #1.

STILL LIVELY

2008-09-17T22:32:00.002-04:00

17" x 22", graphite. Three month of work, on and off.

Crimson Petal

2008-08-23T12:53:00.002-04:00

Nothing teaches one as well as sheer practice of copying straight from the Nature. Even the best camera limits the seen to obvious, leaving out delicate nuances. Of course, in the hands of a good professional photographer a camera can do wonders. Then s/he is called artist photographer, and copying from another artist is not the point of this exercise. The point here was to make an exercise to look as good as any creative work. This one is sold.

Alpha & Omega

2008-08-01T04:17:00.007-04:00

14"x17"
Graphite on paper

This plastic beauty was a birthday present from my eldest pride and joy Miriam. I named it Marie-Antoinette. Last year's present was a bokken sword.

A hat for Simone

2008-07-31T21:53:00.002-04:00

This is the first hat I created. It is made out of a black straw baseball cap, some cheap mesh fabric and my old brooch from the eighties. Simone loved it. I enjoyed making it. For the next hat I'll order real millinery supplies: veil with dots and such.

Glamourrr

2008-07-30T09:20:00.001-04:00

The first of a series.

8"x10", oil.

Bring me luck, Murr.
