No. 176

No. 176 / Ode to R. Tom Gilleon
Original graphite — Paper size 9 x 12 in, Image 8 x 8 in. 

Today's artwork is a little bit of a departure from the usual postings. I have included two photos because one of them turned out pretty dark. 

This week I made it over to  CM Russell Museum and spent an hour inspecting some incredible paintings. This is one offering Great Falls has that is very special. If you are into western art this museum offers dozens of paintings and artifacts.One artist that caught my eye, R. Tom Gilleon, is an adept painter who does a series of tipi paintings in vibrant colors. (See his work here.) I thought I might do a preliminary drawing to explore this subject matter. It was fun to do a little research!
