Casual Impressionism: I found there is nothing more challenging or interesting than the faces of those around me. My drawings are made on the spot, quickly and spontaneously - my subjects are unposed and initially unaware that I am committing my impression of them to newsprint. If my sketch has made it home to your fridge-thank you! Contact knightonart@gmail.com

Rodney

Stopping for the essential morning coffee, Zoe at Ballucons on Sorauren, made me a PURRfect Americano.
Zoe is something of an artist herself and is planning to post some performance art on YouTube. Zoe if your listening send me a link.
Rodney, a patron, saw a sketch of the belle Zoe and said he'd be happy to sit for me.
In conversation Rodney mentioned he had sat for prominent Toronto Painter, Rachelle Kearns as part of her series of portraits on 16 influential people. Modestly, he said he wasn't sure why she had chosen him. At the time Rodney's company manufactured a key highly fire retardant insulation used in many of today's airplanes. 5 minutes later it was done and I was off on my bike to work.
Kearns portrait resides on his daughters wall and it would be nice to think this sketch gets a few days air play.
