Red Accessories *SOLD

Red Accessories was inspired by a woman - wearing a big hat - that I saw sitting on a bench in SoHo, NY. This started out as a simple graphite sketch on natural paper. Recently, I decided to revisit the sketch and add a lake scene and a touch of color - hence the red accessories! I thought she had a classic calm feel to her like summer is ending and she has a chance to breathe!

Red Accessories is professionally framed to a final size of 24" x 24". It is Sold but cards are available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN | 218-547-3729

A Moment in SoHo

I am working on a series of graphite sketches titled - "a moment in."

This is "A Moment in SoHo." I based the sketch on a stylish women I came across while in SoHo in 2010. I was tempted to leave the sketch all graphite but the more I sketched ...the more I visualized RED accessories. She almost needs a red bag but I thought coffee fit the scene better. I will add a few more shadows to her dress before calling this one complete. jt
