Jack Rabbit - Block-in

I started this oil painting of a Jack Rabbit visiting a bird bath to get a drink in the desert heat.  I have blocked in the basic shales and colors.  I need to add the reflection in the water and finish the rocks behind the feet and body.

Kneeling man Robe study

I am currently reading the Walter Isaacson book on Leonardo Di Vinci.  In it Leonardo spends a lot of his youth studying the way folds of clothing drape over the human body.  This is a study after a figure and cloth study by a German artist Mathias Grunewald in the 1500s.  I used grey paper, black pencil and white chalk.
