quick sketch in graphite of my favorite painter and artist; not very good though.

green apple revisited

The shift from realism to fuzzy realism.The realist apple is in colored pencils, the fuzzy one in watercolor pencils both dry and wet versions.

Picasso as my muse

A couple of days ago I started reading Picasso An Intimate portrait by Jaime Sabartes-a Spanish friend of the artist, and the famous memoires of Francoise Gilot Life with Picasso published in 1964.Also Picasso's art catalogue Joy of Life.
The innovative nature of this great artist has been always an inspiration for me and probably imbued by his enthusiasm for life and his art I came across developing this new art style which I am exploring with the same joy of color of my realist works in colored pencils and oil pastels, and,of course, Crayola crayons.
Take a look at my latest explorations of the possibilities of this style in my new blog Fuzzy realism - a new art style.

bowl of apricots

this is fuzzy art and collage of my drawing "Bowl of Apricots" which I completed in June 2008.I did my own stylization without the aid of the program so I can control the amount of fuzziness.Next i will use colored pencils on white paper as this is also a crayola crayons piece on canvaskin pad 5x7in.
