This was one of my commissioned drawings.

This was an exploration in pen and ink trying to capture moving water in a lovely creek in a protected wilderness area within walking distance of my home. Usually it was a trickle but on that day it was full and flowing much faster, creating bubbles as it rushed over and down the rocks.

Here is a large painting I did of a ballerina. My ex was a stagehand in the San Francisco Opera House so I knew a few of the women in the San Francisco Ballet who danced there during the ballet season. I sometimes would watch them rehearse, which inspired this painting. It’s 60” x 36”

He was drawing quietly so I took advantage of his stillness to draw this portrait. It was around 1985.
