Toward The Within

A model took a break and sat like this... irresistible, really.

Dominus

His name was Domingo, glimpsed as he was pacing and calling for his missing lover. He was backlit by the setting sun, and I carried the image in my mind until I got to my studio.

Actually just a guy who liked my python. The name was chosen based on viewers' responses to the piece.

Dancer

The model actually stood there drooping. I had to improvise, and chose to liven her up a bit.

Another model relaxing, and quickly drawn. This piece also is named for the responses it drew from viewers.

Monk, walking

I got talking to a monk in Thailand, and discovered that a person can be a monk for as long or short a time as they wish. It can apparently be a form of penance. According to the guy I spoke to, he was doing five years to pay for his sins. Amazing. It struck me that the robe is the monk almost more than the person wearing it, so I made a series of robes "wearing the men" so to speak.
