Cheryl at Little Anthonys'

Cheryl at Little Anthonys' is a prismacolor pencil drawing.

I was interested in the interaction of the circle shapes and the linear patterns in this setting. Cheryl was the perfect model.

Kathleen in the Doorway is a 34" by 47" prismacolor pencil drawing.

This study involves a figure at Trail Dust Town reflecting in et hed glass windows of some doors.

Giant

Giant is a 24" by 30" oil painting, 2007.

The saguaro is the same one in the colored pencil drawing Desert Giant. This cactus is located near the Rincon Mountains in Saguaro National Park East near the junction of Squeeze Pen and Loma Verde trails. It seemed it was my job to remember it in its' prime as well as the beauty of the decaying form.

Desert Giant

Desert Giant is a 24" by 30" prismacolor pencil drawing.

The saguaro is the same one in the oil painting Giant. This cactus is located near the Rincon Mountains in Saguaro National Park East near the junction of Squeeze Pen and Loma Verde Trails. This saguaro was magnificent, having the most arms of any I'd ever seen.

Prickly Pear Blossoms

Prickly Pear Blossoms is a prismacolor pencil drawing.

I wanted to focus on the blossoms, letting the remaining shapes become more abstract.

Prickly Pears at Dawn

Prickly Pears at Dawn is a 22" by 24" prismacolor pencil drawing.

I was caught up in the backlighting as the blooms glowed in the late afternoon light. I also liked the rose like shapes the spent blooms formed.
