Here’s another pedestrian drawing, this time from the Safeway parking lot on Solano. Still a bit stiff, methinks. The picture on the bottom shows drawings from Friday (left) and Thursday.

This is a study for a larger drawing that will ideally combine what I like about the Scooters Series and the pedestrian quickies from my sketchbook. This one’s looking a bit cartoony.

Here’s Nancy Rubins and Robert Rauschenberg in front of and in the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles. The Rubins sculpture looked great until my girlfriend pointed out that it was probably supposed to look like a big bird. Think I prefer it as an abstract cloud of garbage.

The latest in the New Landscape Paintings series, now featuring Golden Heavy Body Acrylics (and one tube of Winsor lemon yellow) on canvas. The final version can be viewed in my gallery, but not until there is a final version. Almost there.

Busy working on a New Landscape canvas, but in my spare time still toying (dare I say “fiddling”?) with the conductors. Also been reading a little about color theory, hence my starting with secondary colors and adding complementary tints.

Four studies for portraits. Some of my previous illustrations of composers can be seen here.
