From Life or Photo?

Do you like to create images? What do you use for a source of images?

Here's the same person from a photo I snapped and also a drawing I did from life while the person was sitting across from me.  It's tricky to catch a likeness when you are drawing from life, so I often use photographs. 

 

Wistfully, Wishful

Reminds me of one-panel humor in the New Yorker magazine...

I guess it needs no title.

What do you think that title should be?

Potted Aloe and Orchid

Flower sketches... Got a new drawing book with thick paper. It's gratifying to draw and paint on thicker paper that doesn't soak through to the other side.

Dog Man

Love me ...like a dog man!

Leaning on the Lava Rock Wall

Tourist leaning on the wall getting sprayed by waves

Kama'aina Flowering

African flowering, a kama'aina to Hawaii.

Orchid Monoprint

It's an orchid growing directly on a stump. 
Title: "Decomposition Flowering"
