Not sure if I was channeling the Fauves or perhaps the psychedelic posters from the 60's. Often the model inspires the style. The flood light in the studio provided strong backlighting so maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me. While the drawing is a realistic representation, the primary saturated colors are not. At least in the real world... I am a traditionally trained artist and designer. I have been making life drawings since art school. Drawing is my meditation. Painting becomes more transformative if the drawing its based on is compelling. Digital tools are gradually transforming the way art is created. I bought an iPad Pro with an apple stylus and tried it out for life drawing. It is quite amazing. The advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Size is the only limiting factor. I wish I had one measuring 18 x 24"! Its flexibility, spontaneity and the software (procreate) facility to mimic traditional media without the mess and toxic fumes. I saw a David Hockney show at MOMA with a bunch of paintings he did on an iPad Pro. Printed at large sizes they fit perfectly with his previous paintings. My next adventure is too use the iPad for studies, compositions and color to use them to return to Oil on Canvas. Its impossible for me to not approach every new drawing and pose with a fresh sense of wonder. I love the challenge of drawing the form with out a lot of artificial posing and fake looking gestures. Instead I just focus on the drawing as a tool of discovery.

I am also energized by nature and its interactions with the human form. By deliberate removal of the subjective feeling that I am drawing a person, and tuning out the noise of my own thoughts, I strive to enter a state of mindfulness, in order to draw what I perceive. I try to not be influenced by irrelevant thoughts and desires. I am a voracious visitor of Museums & Galleries as well as an Art History fan. I have a particular interests in portraiture throughout the ages. I like drawing. I particularly like drawing people. Most of my drawings are done in a studio setting with a live model, without using photographs. Inspired by the work of the great masters of the renaissance as well as more contemporary artists. Those artists that are aroused by the shared sense of wonder, the act of creating art as a result of pure observation.
