miya, mixed media 



practice sketches 


are somehow 


relaxing 


when I let go of a preconceived image and 

just draw what I see





a sampling from the david hockney portraits now 

on exhibit at the los angeles museum of art.



david hockney invited friends and acquaintances to sit for a portrakit

for three days.  he rarely goes out now because his 



hearing makes it cumbersome.  this was a good way for him to be with

people.  he said he got to know them and they


REALLY got to know him. 


the bright orange background, 


same chair  


and background colors 


made for a stunning show.





I always appreciate your visit and comments.  

thank you.
