Baby Sleeping....In Graphite

[Michele Rushworth]

Incredible, Geary! I especially love the hair.

Bravo Geary,

There is, I think, a different resolve when doing work for the family. When you know that generations to come will have a real sense of connection to your work. Many that follow, family that you will never meet, will point to this and speak your name with pride.

No doubt someone will look at this someday and say to themselves ... because he could create this art, and because I have his blood in my veins, maybe I will try.

Geary,
I can only ditto all that is said in favor of this wonderful portrait. You have made a very personal expression.

This is such a tender piece, Geary, and your technique is marvelous. So many soft, curving shapes and great edge control!

Mike McCarty has beautifully expressed the long-range impact of a work like this. I just wanted to add that this child will know how much you loved him, just by looking at this drawing. How priceless!

Garth: I know what you mean about seeing color in a b/w piece of work. To this day I swear that they colorized the blood washing down that tub in Hitchcock's "Psycho". See.....and you thought YOU might sound crazy. Ha!

Next on the list are a couple of performance vehicles I'm doing for an upcoming segment on a local cable access car show called "Vintage Vehicles". I'm half way through a colored pencil of a Cobra right now. It's pretty fun....though much more time consuming. On the "human portraiture" ....I've got a commission coming after I go down to California to do the shoot and art notes. So...it's starting to barely trickle in.


Heidi: Well, dear...you were the one who "opened the floodgates" first here for me with those words. I appreciate your attitude so much. You're just this cut-through-it sorta gal that reminds me so much of many of my own loving family.

Jimmie: Dude....no worries....I haven't been on much lately either. I've missed lots of posts in the last month. Thanks for your comment my friend. Coming from your deft fingers....I'm highly honored.

Michele: Thanks....Julie and I are excited to chat with you soon....there's a Starbucks or Tully's close by! (duh...huh?)

Mike: Gracious...so..... your words brought up some emotion as well. Your expository style of writing your comments are as classic as your other artforms. The thing about talent coursing through bloodlines struck a beautiful chord. Thanks.

Allan: I appreciate that!

Linda: Oh, hi I just came back to edit... as your post just came in while I was posting...ha! THANKS so very much for saying so....and for looking at what does truly touch my heart.
