Michelle's Garden was painted on location in my sisters newly installed backyard garden. I love the metal gate surrounding the rose garden. I had a model walk around the area and was struck by her gently grasping the flower.
I wanted the viewer to feel a sense of peace and gentleness and come to a place of rest while viewing this painting. As always, I enjoy your comments.

For sketching the head, this sheet I received from one of my mentors, always amazes me.
For most people, the eyes are in the MIDDLE of the whole head. Most artist or anyone that is sketching the head, would not guess that, and most artist put the eyes too high on the face. Look closely at this sketch and hopefully it is helpful.

I would like to share with you a recent pastel which I did of my father. James D. Glass, passed away about two years ago, had such a big and joyful personality, he will be missed by so many people.
