Matisse and Rekerdres Again

Seriously, aren't these little watercolors fun? And, as most people know, I'm all about fun.

Metaphor of the Body

If this is a metaphor of the body, you might ask, then what do I mean?  If I try to imagine my soul this is sort of the image I come up with.  It fits the body, but is translucent and different colors. 

Seeds of Restlessness

I wanted to post five watercolors that I entered into a show in Ft. Worth, but this blog would only let me post one picture at a time.  So for the next several days, I'll show you the rest.  They are all quick sketches done in the life drawing studio.  I'm particularly fond of the titles because they  are all poetic revelations of what I really mean.

Proud and Alert

This model is a flamenco dancer and you can tell by her proud and alert bearing.  This was a very  quick sketch in which I was trying simply to capture the model's attitude.  

This is how I feel

Sometimes I do a quick watercolor sketch and save the face for last, but then it seems to look so right without the face.  I was pondering this today (are you thinking the same thing I am, Pinkie?) and I think that one responds to a faceless figure when one is drained or very tired.
