Gesture drawings are very quick drawings to get a sense of the subject's character. My subjects don't pose for long, so these can be valuable resources for me when creating a painting.

Artists' Gallery in June
I'm working on framing a couple of charcoal gesture drawings for June at Artists' Gallery in Lambertville NJ. (June 4 through July 5).

Sky Dive

I came across a sketch for a painting I did a while ago, and thought I would post the painting. It is a peregrine falcon in a dive. These are fascinating, powerful birds of prey that can reach wild speeds in their pursuit of prey—up to 200 mph in a dive. I really enjoyed doing the painting for this particular piece, I once did a tandem sky dive, and the thrill of that is something I'll never forget!
The Cornell website "allaboutbirds.com" is a great resource of information!
