I am still cleaning out the studio. This is a life drawing from my Kansas City Art Institute days.(for those of you that do not know what life drawing is, it means I was working from a LIVE model not a photo.

"Egg Scale and orange wedges Reflected"

This is an 18" X 24" pastel. I have tried to leave the brush strokes in it. I have been long fascinated with the reflections in a mirror and how it could be used to convey time. Also the ribbons you get at show are so pretty, that I have been trying to decide how I can incorporate them into my work. Must go get my cup of coffee.
