Graphite Rose

Graphite on paper
When I finished drawing my shoe, I found a rose to draw. Yes, it was a long wait in that waiting room, but I had more fun than the people reading dog-eared magazines.  

I'm learning a lot about values as I work with graphite. I'm sure I should have learned this decades ago, but I'm thinking it's valuable now, too.

"What do you suppose is down there?" twittered the hollow blue bird wearing cement shoes while balancing on an apple.

This was a value study in sepia of things I have in my studio.  I did it to see if I could.  Being self-taught, I haven't  done things in the same order as the classically trained.  I painted, taught painting for ten years, and thirty years later I found out some of the things they do in art school.  It seemed like a good exercise.  

You can also see this on Dailypaintworks.com, but I probably won't list it for purchase on the auction.  But if you are interested, email me and we'll discuss it. 

Thank you for visiting,
