"The Kiblinger" 12"x18" oil on ampersand gessoboard

   At the request of the audience who saw me paint this auto on site last spring, I have decided to exhibit the painting for one engagement during the month of March. It will companion another new piece of mine in the good company of my fellow artists' work in the Fox Island Artist Group Show at the Kimball Gallery. From what I learned today, there are only 7 Kiblingers in existence. So if you didn't have the pleasure of seeing the actual car on show last spring, this one may be the last Kiblinger you see for a while.

Drawing from Life



Fred 12x12 charcoal on paper

    Although more of a study than finished work, I had the honor of spending 90 minutes with this 91 year old gentleman. On breaks he was explaining how to use skype and quite fascinated with technology. Considering I'm as traditional as I can be, it was refreshing to be in his youthful spirit and see that some people (unlike me) easily "get it".

A second helping

December Portrait Sketch



"Lilli" 12x12 charcoal and carbon pencils

    Although this is more of a sketch than finished work, if I don't have the model before me I will not do anything more to the drawing.... its finished. Last I heard this young lady was preparing to go overseas soon after our modeling session so...  Since the Kimball show opens next week, I have done little more than finish paintings for that. As not to spoil the party, I am switching gears and sharing a portrait session result from last month.
