Hi everyone,

I am very happy to now be a part of the SOG Forum.

I guess I should tell you a little bit about myself. I am an artist from Gaithersburg, Maryland. I have been drawing and painting for over 30 years, most of which is portraiture. I consider myself to be a classical realist.

Oddly enough, most of my portraits now are nudes.

In addition to portraits (in oil and pencil) I create a great deal of religious art including church murals. I am a member of "Christians In Portraiture".

If I do it right, I will upload my latest pencil portrait here. The subject's name is Chelsea and she is a 15 year old model with a very classic look about her. This drawing of her has now become my logo. I hope everyone here likes it.
