Lagrange Studio

I used to have an Art Studio at Lagrange Street in 2002. These are two drawings of the view from the windows and the Studio down the street.

Charcoal Drawing  19"x 24"

Today I woke up with the need to draw a portrait of World Champion boxer Macho Camacho. After hearing yesterday the news of no hope on his fight for life, after he was shot last Tuesday. I asked myself these days, why is it that his personality would attract us so much? Since I was very young in the 80's, I grew up watching his fights, interviews and adventures, and with all the characteristics he had that made him the unique person he was, with all the changes he made to the sport of boxing, it was mainly that he was a sincere and humble man, but above all, he had a great heart, and the World (through boxing) and the Spanish speaking World specially recognized this and he was very much loved.
Here I have portrayed him in his younger years, my interpretation. With it I couldn't exclude certain nostalgia for this great loss. He was always GREAT, and he will be, not only when he was young, like many believe, because he couldn't give all his potential in boxing later on due to his life decisions and circumstances. No one can't deny that every time we saw Camacho on TV we were struck by his sincerity and energy for life.
Thank you Macho for all the years that you gave us. My condolences to the family.

What time is it?       Is Macho Time!!!

Angela

I made this portraits in 2010 of a model and good friend Angela. The lower one first (11"x 14") in lead pencil and the one on top, Charcoal, much bigger later. After the first I felt I want it to pursue the work in a close much simple style.

Portraits

Human Figure Drawings

These are some of the drawings I completed during the Life drawing Sessions at the Atelier in the Sprinkler Factory, Worcester MA. The sessions ran a pose for 2 hours. Some drawings have the same model and pose from a different angle or close up. The drawings are 24" x 36". i enjoyed these long poses very much.
The Atelier is the Art Studio of Chris and JoEllen Reindhardt. I thank them for allowing me to be part of their sessions.

Thank you. Hope to work together soon.
