Wax Bloom

I took this with my new Canon Digital Rebel XTi – a 10.1MP DSLR, and another notch off of my goals for this year to get a better setup for photographing my work. I’ll be updating some of my other work with new photographs later.

A sequel to this drawing of my friend Steve Ganz that I did about a year and a half ago:

It feels good to be drawing a face again after all that corn and basket….

FINALLY!

Mmm … delicious, mouthwatering, melts-in-your-mouth purple corn.

Punched up the darks a bit more and started on the second corn cob…I’m hoping this one will be done in another session or two.

Teresa Mallen was kind enough to mention my work in her October 2008 Newsletter - thanks Teresa, I’m honored! 

Feeling marginally better about this one now…

I’m starting to get really burnt out on this one and had to force myself to get it to this point over lunch. (With apologies for the cruddy iPhone photo).

The next time I do a still life I have to be sure to not have so many repetitive details. The basket, the corn…its really just not that much fun. I feel like I’ve been drawing the same damned thing for days now.
