A Drawing a Day…

Frankie at the Window (6″ x 3¾”, ballpoint pen, 2011)

A batch of sketches done since late 2010 has been posted on the Sketches page of this website.  Most, executed since accepting the challenge to draw something every day, reflect people and things encountered briefly in daily life.

All sketches are available for purchase with prices (including tax and shipping) ranging from $15 for the smaller pieces to $50 for the larger, more involved ones.  (Items with a red dot have already been sold.)

If you see something that appeals to you, call or email.  Keep in mind, too, that the earlier artwork displayed on the Paintings and Drawings pages fall within an affordable range for many collectors.
