A nice piece from 1994- Charcoal Still life done in College.  More of a portfolio builder piece than anything else- “Look- I can draw household objects in a simple medium”- anyway, I thought it held up well and a nice example of how I like to do Chiaroscuro– for those who dont know…

Chiaroscuro– in art is “an Italian term which literally means ‘light-dark’. In paintings the description refers to clear tonal contrasts which are often used to suggest the volume and modelling of the subjects depicted”.
