Commissioned Pastel Portrait






















































A pastel portrait commission for Mary Rabe, a dear art patron. From start to finish it took around 1 hour. Everybody pleased, happy, including me. I wish to have a commission like this everyday.

Another artist...



















How beautiful it is to be surrounded by beautiful talented people...
It is inspiring and cannot stop myself not to capture the moment.

Graduation Day
























A portrait done few years back when she was still a kid.
The youngest person in our small family - Laura - graduated Laguna Hills High
She is no longer "the kid" - future college student . . . Ha!

Toni Czechorosky
























Started this painting at one of the modeling sessions at Randy Higbee Gallery where lots of artists gather together to paint and draw the beautiful model Toni
Being a long session I made some drawings first - a conte and a charcoal - that later helped me finish this painting. It is very important for me to draw first - to catch all details, and besides it was impossible to finish the painting too.
