Drawing progression
Modern day example (above) of a charcoal portrait drawing. The quality of this medium is excellent. It should always be framed under glass to protect the artwork. Hang the finished work away from direct sunlight to protect it from UV rays.
The History of Charcoal drawings:
Charcoal was often a key component of cave painting with examples dating back to at least 28,000 years ago.[9]
One of the oldest painting is a picture of a zebra found at the Apollo cave in Namibia.
In the renaissance Charcoal was widely used but few works of art survived due to charcoal particles flaking off the canvas. At the end of the 15th century a process of submerging the drawings in a gum bath was implemented to prevent the charcoal from flaking away. charcoal paintings date as far back as ca.23,000 BC.
Artsy Still Life
A simple still-life of common objects can reveal the artist's love of color and his passion for the medium he or she uses. In my studio are many such objects, I see them almost everyday. In appreciation of the art of creating art this painting came to be.

Oil on Canvas
Barbarella Blue
It will be finished soon.
Portraits provide a permanent visual reminder of the ties between the generations of your family, expressing the emotional connection between you, your ancestors and your descendants. Long after photographs have faded, portraits remain.
Portrait of Madelyn is completed

Update on Madelyn's portrait
This still needs a lot of work, but there's joy in the journey.
Scenic Louisiana
I wanted to capture the beauty of the spring here in Louisiana. We usually have only a few weeks to enjoy this splendid weather. The gardens and parks are absolutely beautiful.
Madelyn's portrait
The underpainting on Madelyn's portrait has begun. It’s the light and dark values in relationship to each other and the simplified massing of values that play such an important role in a composition’s design.
Barbarella Blue painting update
The stage at I am now requires doing the little details and layers of glazes to add more color.
Scandalous Artist
Caravaggio was know to use prostitutes as models, as in this painting of the death of Mary (mother of Jesus). circa1606 It was documented that the painting was rejected by the patron who commissioned it because of that - or the other reason for rejection might have been because of the improper manner in how Mary was depicted.
It can be seen at the Louve in Paris.
