Two nights a week the Old Town Artists in downtown St. Paul hold open drawing sessions. One is a figure drawing session and the other a portrait session. I thought I would post some of my work from the portrait sessions here plus a couple of miscellaneous sketches.

These are from my small sketchbook I carry around. They aren't always drawn from life. Anything will do sometimes from posters to magazine ads etc...if I can catch a real person sitting still long enough, all the better.

My daughter. This one was a lot of fun to paint.

Before I started this one, I took some time to play a little. I just wanted to get some colors down and push paint around. I wasn't concerned with a likeness at this point. Just pure play. That is the sketch below.

The strong noon light cast a really nice deep shadow across this scene. I like how the details get lost in them. I'm making an effort to get more figures in my work where it feels right. I wanted to reinforce the leisurely noon-time theme here with the ladies enjoying a post-lunch stroll along the avenue.

I had just gotten past the crucial block-in stage on this one when a security guard sauntered up and asked me what I was doing.

"Painting." I replied pointing to the fading light off the distant buildings.

He looked at my panel and then at me like I was speaking French. The panel at this point was smeared with different colors and looked like a rorshach test. He informed me that I was on Federal Property. I was standing on the boulevard on the back side of the building in question. He looked deep into my eyes and saw that I was not a terrorist and he gave me an hour and a half to finish up. God bless America and that security guard, for I would not have had time to set up anywhere else.

Entering downtown Minneapolis looking for somewhere to paint on a crisp Monday morning, I glanced to my left and saw this little back alley area. That was it. No searching for that perfect spot, no aimless driving. I found something that caught my eye and did my best with it.

Last week, on a lunch break, I took a walk around downtown Minneapolis. It was raining steadily, not hard, but enough to keep people off the streets and in the skyways.
