This drawing was done using monochromatic pastel on grey Bogus Paper.  It was done from a painting. The three trees are a compelling group, drawing me back to this location repeatedly.  They are emphasized here in a distilled fashion, largely from being drawn from a painting.

Dad, this looks like a giant tiger paw dragging the earth toward the horizon.

On Chafee Lane 10 x 8 inches, oil on canvas panel Copyright 2010, John A. Brecht, all rights reserved I painted this in May while standing near my driveway, looking west, down my street. I have always enjoyed this vantage and have studied it frequently. I completed this in one day. However, I was not totally satisfied and after stewing on it for a few days, I was able to articulate just what it needed. It didn't take much to complete. Returning to a location on a different day can reveal new things. Deliberating on a piece can have its rewards.

Reclining Figure with Hand 24 X 18 inches, graphite on paper Copyright 2009, John A. Brecht, all rights reserved I enjoy this drawing. The placement on the page is fun. But what I like the most is her hand. The abbreviated marks define it nicely. For me, it is the magic corner of the piece.
