The show opened on Thursday August 9 at Gallery 111 in the ICB Building. It just in time for the Sausalito Chamber of Commerce Mixer. The exhibition hightlighted the works of six artists (Dana Draper, Rhoda Grossman, Larry Gilmour, Allen Lavee, Mardi Horowitz and myself) from the Tuesday morning figure drawing session held in Dana Draper's studio. The drawing sessions focuses on short gestures poses so all the works in the show were from poses lasting no longer than ten minutes. Typically at drawing sessions I would take a realist approach to drawing the model so when I began attending Dana's Gesture sessions I struggled with the time factor. But later I had an epiphany and decided to take a more abstract approach. Suddenly my sketches began to free up and I began enjoying refocusing my attention, from perfect rendering to using pen and ink to produce beautiful gestural lines accented with colorful splashes of watercolor.
The show runs through August 15th. 480 Gate 5 Road, Sausalito, Ca.
