This is a practice study – part of my continuing education as a working artist. The pose is from a collection offered for signing up to the ProkoTV.com mailing list. They don’t give out any of the models names, so this sketch is after Proko-Model-Pose-024. ProkoTV is a great resource for learning how to draw people well.

Reaching No. One was displayed at the Seattle Psychoanalytic Society and Institute during their Spring Art Show. This show was only open to the public for one night — Feb 28, 2020. The opening was a joy. Food was delicious, wine flowed and friends of poetry were all around. My favorite poem read that night was a very moving one about Sisyphus by Robert Bergman.

The show lasted until September 2020. This portrait is still available and will be available in the Shop soon.
