Working quickly capturing two models in short poses is a great drill. You have to make a decision about what is important in what you are seeing and want to capture on paper. You have to think fast and draw slow. Recently I’ve gotten to work with two drawing models, this was a five minute pose.

Runway Layout
My first working experience was in the New York Fashion Industry, 7th Ave as it was called. I don’t think we thought of it as an industry.
I got to meet people like Richard Blauner, (who gave me two ties from A. Sulka) Jerry Silverman, Herbert Sondheim and others. I was one of the first to see the original dresses and coats as they came back from the Paris Fashion Shows. In other words – I was in shipping. But none the less, I still admired the beauty of what I was seeing.
This painting is a layout of a series of paintings having to do with fashion for a show this winter.

Being uncomfortable is most often thought of as a way to have a breakthrough on what ever kind of creativity process you are working on.
After struggling for the last month or so, I am not so sure that being uncomfortable is everyone’s salvation.

I wondered why someone would want to be a President. The toll that it takes. At first Obama did not look to be old enough to be President but that has changed. Now, though committed to going forward, he looks as if he has discovered the truth about heaven with the knowledge that there is no turning back. I’ve painted Senator Obama with his eyes looking down vs. the upward hopeful gaze he once maintained. I wish him good health.
