Studio


Water Colour of a little out-house in Leitrim. It's been done up and now has a fireplace in the one room downstairs, and would you believe, it has a tiny room + a WC upstairs!

A Serious Looking Face


This was done in a group situation and I think the model had been obliged to pose too long without a break. Actually, she didn't normally have such a serious look about her, but I think by that stage she was just exhausted. Come to think of it, unless a picture is done from a photo, it's very difficult for the sitter to hold the pose.

Red Ribbons


This model had interesting little ribbons plaited into her hair. I don't think I did them justice.

Another Portrait in Pastels



Another portrait - again, a bit grim looking.

Bill Clinton


Water Colour and Ink wash

from black and white newspaper photo

Bill Clinton after news of Monica got out.

Portrait of Chris


Oil Pastel
I enjoyed doing this model's hair especially. But I wish I had softened the line of his cheek bone a bit. It looks a bit severe.

Life-Drawing


Another survivor from the host of life-drawings I got rid of!
I'm not sure why I kept it.
