| Sunbather at a Country Club, 1973 |
During the summer after I graduated from High School I got blown up in a boat explosion. My recuperation took place at my parent’s home in Virginia. I got a job life guarding at a local pool inside a country club. I used my off time to continue drawing. A frequent visitor to the pool allowed me to draw her sunbathing. Sunbathers are great models for artists of course since they sit still for long periods of time. She was no exception.

Sunday church drawing. I have been drawing in church most of my adult life (that’s a long time). I thought I might share some on Sundays for a while. This is one from 2006.
Here is the text in case it’s not legible on your monitor.
“The upper class woman with the bra strap showing and a tag as well listening to the simple sermon by the Methodist who looks like that character actor who later did infomercials whose voice is coming to her as a flying turtle translating it into what she wants to hear so she can live the life she wants as do we all.”
