I appreciate the privilege of exhibiting there. Some works are borrowed from my beloved patrons, and some are for sale. these drawings, along with other paintings and drawings of mine, will be on display through May and June at the Greenfield Banking Company, in their second floor gallery.

He used colored pencil, a medium I am quite familiar with. The title of Liberace's video might make one think he actually used chalk (pastel) in his demo, but he did not. Inspired by an instructional video that I have, called, "The Portrait in Three Color Chalk" by Robert Liberace, I set forth creating my interpretation of the photos that were provided to me. I saw this as an opportunity to try a limited palette. He has studied with Rob Liberace, Dan Thompson, Jon deMartin. The mother of 2 little girls asked me to draw portraits for them. We then do a short color study to explore the relationships within the composition and to.
