Figure drawing / painting sessions

I have begun a series of group nude figure sessions with 3 other artists.
Here are sketches from the first 2 sessions. The painting was done from the sketch at home.
The sketches are in chalk pastel and are about 1 x 20 inches. The painting is an 8 x 10.

Persimmon in acrylic take 2

I repainted the persimmon to see if I could improve it. I loosened up on the framing and added a little bit of detail in the background. These persimmons are from my mom's tree in Placerville. The painting location is at our cabin in Tahoe.
