Got some new paper. Canal from 

Canada. This piece is very rough

and textural. The oil pastel goes on 

really well. These two are  actually warmer than

This oil pastel on bronze paper really

holds together well for me. The focus 

was on the pectorals for me....

although the photo has a different focal point.

The interesting vantage point good to work 

from.

Cleaning out my portfolio meant finding

some lithography crayons. 

Wanting to try something bold before

starting a project which required a more

controlled hand, these next two were a fun exercise:

An afternoon with Chuck, the model.
