Anne of Cleves


With her magnificent jewel-laden clothing, Hans Holbein the Younger created a weighty painting appropriate for such an exalted subject. Not being bound by the constraints of a royal portraitist, I was free to turn the solemn queen into a floating angel.


What started as an exercise to develop my drawing skills turned into a very satisfying means of artistic expression. I don't consider these to be copies any more than a still-life is a copy of the objects being depicted. In this case, it just happens to be paintings which serve as the beautiful and inspiring subjects of my drawings.


Danse de Paysans


Isolating the figures in this work of Peter Paul Rubens emphasizes the wonderful baroque twists and turns of its complex design.


Madonna and Child


This drawing brings out the wonderful lines and beautiful expressions created by Botticelli.
