"These are samples of drawings I am currently doing during this Shelter In Place Distance / Learning order per the Coronavirus factors. 

The size of each panel is 36 Inches wide and 24 Inches High.  The panels are primed wood.  After I resolve and complete the drawings I plan to complete each one using oil paints.  Once painted the delicate detailed quality of the drawings will be lost as they become absorbed into the paint."

 "You may have noticed the small sketches laying on the floor under two of them.  Yes I drew those without using a photograph as a reference or human models."

" After years of careful study and practice I tend to start drawings or art making with sketches based on ideas....without using models or photos.  However I have nothing against the use of references.  I even make that a part of my students Grid-Scale Drawing projects.  When I was a professional Illustrator I used references regularly"

"I recently had a series of conversations about pencil drawings being accepted as the final artistic expression instead of it being the foundation for paints.  Drawn with the idea of being actual Art."
