Dancer 1979 by me

When I was a sophomore in high school I drew this picture from a photo. The famous dancer-- I don't remember. I must have given the drawing to Nina, who left it behind when she moved. Chris, her brother, now has it hanging in his house next to a print that Nancy Nicholson made. 

You never know when your work makes an impression. Had Nancy not been asked to make glass for Chris, I'd never have known about this. 

A Good Day with Cows

 Nancy Nicholson sent me this photo from Chris Heegard's ranch in Oregon.  Nancy went to the ranch to draw and then make stained glass for Chris. While there, she discovered a drawing I did in 1979. Next post.

 Sketch, blocking out shapes on the perfect size canvas.

 Blocking in color, my technique resembles the watercolor days.

More paint, but now I'll wait before I paint again. The immediacy of color make me feel like this is done, but there isn't enough paint on the canvas.
