 Here's a bunch of 10 - 20 minute figure sketches from the recent drawing marathon at Unison in New Paltz.
We've organized a twelve hour marathon for July 22nd at the Woodstock School of Art. http://woodstockschoolofart.org/  10:00- 4:30PM (lunch included). A late night session afterwards for those who can't get enough-(like me).

Cabin in the Woods

I painted this at my friends house in the northeast kingdom of Vermont in Barnet.

A beautiful early 18th century house in the woods with a room of antiques that resembles

 a mountain man's cabin in the woods, with all the accoutremonts of the time.

A special place I stayed at for a few weeks while they were away, only me, my paints, the dogs,a cat, a horse, and a ghost.

Art Along the Hudson

Here's my encaustic painting,Hudson Valley Sunset,

Bright Earth

Highly recommended book on the origins and evolution of pigments and the relationship of artists pigments to the creation of Art . Equally fascinating is the link between the science of pigment fabrication and how the chemical industry began from this artist driven imperative.

Excellent four part You Tube lecture by the author.

Drawing Marathon

Unison had a drawing marathon on Saturday... two models in the morning and two in the afternoon.

Here's a few from that session.
All 20 minutes each.
