Michelle the Dancer

She's one of my favorite models in Ringling, she was a ballet dancer and had the body to prove it. Her poses were always gracefull and beautiful. These pieces where part of a Collective Exhibition in the late 508 Gallery in Downtown Sarasota, Fl. I'm almost sure it was February 1999. Believe it or not this were 20 minute poses. Oils on 8"x10" masonite board.

College work

I went to Ringling from 1996-2000 and graduated with a BFA in the Dept. of Illustration. During those glorious years, I did the awesome discovery that I love to paint. Although, I hardly do it lately. Painting even gets emotional for me. All of those were made with oils on 8"x 10" masonite boards, only the bottle of Il Baccio was made with acrylics on 8"x 10" illustration board.
