Old Guy (2000)

Drawing (charcoal on paper); 24" x 36"

This astonishingly trim and fit septugenarian graced my last semester's studio art class with his modelling presence one serendipitous afternoon. He held amazingly still for an old timer -- this pose was 2.5 hours long (with a few breaks in between), if memory serves correct.The combination of crisscrossed limbs, dramatic lighting, and well-defined physical features made for an inspired drawing session.

This piece has since been framed and hung in my father's/stepmother's living room.
