Actually, I’m beginning a couple of new projects, but this is the first one with something decent to show. (Still needs some touch up, but it’s almost done.)

Someone left a pine cone for one of my co-workers (don’t ask, even I don’t know), so while I had some free time last night (I do have free time), I did drawing of it.

Did this for Whitechapel – REMAKE/REMODEL: The Gadget Man over on Warren Ellis’s Whitechapel forum. Just for fun kinda stuff.

Lots of great work over there–go look.

See her work here.
I love her intimate size, and soft coloring, capturing quiet moments in an urban setting. They kinda make you look at things you don’t ordinarily pay attention to.
She’s from Texas, and these seem to be paintings of the Houston area. I’ve never been there so I may be wrong.

Thanks to ArtMoco for pointing her out to me.

Francoise Gilot Archives

Then, in 1943, during the time of her first important exhibition in Paris, Françoise met Pablo Picasso, an artist 40 years her senior. In 1946, Gilot and Picasso began a decade long relationship and Françoise became both a witness and a participant in one of the last great periods of the modern art movement in Europe….
