Do You Draw From Life? If Not, You’re Doing Yourself a Disservice Do you draw from life? If you do, bravo! If not…why not? I understand the convenience of Google these days.

Myra and I have been friends for 25 years. Over the years, I have watched her art progress from fantastic to simply spectacular. I’ve seen her work in multiple mediums and I have to say that her work in pencil is probably my favorite. She has a wide range of subject matter, from galaxies in airbrush to animals in pencil, each completed with outstanding attention to detail. I’ve commissioned two pieces from her to hang in the lobby of the building where I work. Each piece was completed flawlessly and within the time frame given. I love Myra’s art so much I wish she’d pick up a tattoo gun and put some on me, permanently.
