I have a great Portrait workshop coming up in Ohio. It will be August 13-17th. Here is a link to the website to sign up.

Portraiture, like other aspects of representational art, is based in two elements: An understanding of structure; and the placement of surface features related to that structure. In this workshop we will focus first on the anatomy of the head, most importantly the architectural structure of the skull and its relation to everything seen on the surface. With this understanding, we will then search for likeness and expression, resulting in the creation of true portraiture.

This workshop will include hands-on instruction and demonstrations, short slide presentations and discussion of successful portraiture, and individual and class critiques. Students will work from a live model throughout the workshop.

Utah Women's Walk model done

I did this relief for a 'quick-draw' fundraiser in Salt Lake City last week.

Great Workshop in Scottsdale!

We had 12 wonderful students and a skeleton with some cervical spine issues... but we all made it through. A Big Fat Thanks to all 12 of the students who made this workshop such a great experience. Heck I'll even thank Mr. McDouffus (the real skinny guy in the photo with the neck problems).

New Sculpture Installed

Mother's Undivided Love was unveiled Oct. 19th at the Methodist Women's Hospital in Omaha, Nebraska. It joined Expectant Mother, which was installed the previous year.
