The completed “Dance of Death”.
oil on canvas
36”x48”
Two new charcoal drawings: the first is a portrait of Charlotte Peak, done from life during about an hour and a half sitting; the second is a self portrait, although I don’t think it looks too much like me.
Special thanks to Charlotte for doing such a good job modeling.
This is the finished version of the painting two posts below.
If anyone is interested, I’m posting the short story that inspired the painting. http://www.gutenberg.org/files/22661/22661-h/22661-h.htm It’s “La Morte Amoureuse” by Théophile Gautier, but the translated title for the gutenberg version is “Clarimonde”.
This is another face from my imagination. She’s not quite finished yet. Also oil on canvas, 9x12. I’ll post a picture of the final piece when it’s finished.
