Just a sketches today.  (NA) Wednesday I had a wonderful visit with an amazing artist many of you already know. Stapleton Kearns is in my opinion, destined to be a legendary artist whose art will be held in museum collections- that is, those museums which treasure contemporary traditional realism. His landscape painting style is if I remember his term correctly, traditional realism. He is a wonderful teacher and he blogs some of the most concisely and amusingly written information every fine art painter needs to know. What a genius painter. I am so happy to have met him.

Sketch of St. John the Baptist by Sandra Galda (NA)

A quick, loosely sketched drawing of John the Baptist after an old Renaissance painting. Many celebrate Ash Wednesday today, and this seems an appropriate subject to post! Posting a sketch is a departure from the aim of this blog, but drawing can sharpen the talent, albeit in a different way, than the small daily paintings. It is best can post when overly busy with family!
