Quick studies can be charming, with their simplified gesture, while still revealing proportions and form. When I'm working on these, I frequently think I haven't gotten much information down on the paper. Later as I look at them I realize there is a lot there. I hope you enjoy these. If you'd like any of them, or my other figurative pieces, you can easily purchase here at my DailyPainters Gallery.

Welcome to my Art Blog! I paint or draw most weekdays and often finish a painting a day. I fondly call them my "Postcards from Paradise" because it's such a beautiful place the Lord made here for us.
