1st entry for Nov 4, 2012

On the Sunday night at TSA the very dynamic Ed was working. I find his gesture poses are especially high-energy. These are 1-minute studies done with medium compressed charcoal on 18 x 24" sheets of bond paper.

I won't be showing gesture drawings, but I am having an open house this weekend at my cozy and cluttered studio. This time it will be all figure studies from the past 20 years that feature people's backs, in a wide range of sizes and media. My studio is at 165 Bathurst St, just south of Queen St, and it will run 1 - 6 pm on Saturday, Nov 17 and noon - 6 on Sunday, Nov 18. Everyone is welcome to come and bring friends. Lots to see and you might even find something you'd like to own...
