Pose Stricken

I photographed this lady from across the street at Sixth and Congress in front of Starbucks. I liked the hand on the hip and the sense of confidence she exuded. This is a study. I plan on doing a large format pastel for an upcoming show.

What is your advice?

This is a "visiting judge". A visiting judge is one that used to have a dedicated bench but no longer presides over it. They tend to hear cases in many jurisdiction. This particular judge I believe retired from one of our "upper courts". I have tried a case in front of him. He is very fair and nice to work with.

Are you ready for sentencing?

I hope I'm never in this position. A judge looking down at you and having the ability to totally make or break your life is not a pleasant place to be. This is one of the more difficult judges to sketch. He is always moving and multitasking. Truly a challenge artistically and legally.

Waiting for my case to be called

This is a painting inspired by my courtroom sketches. Running a courtroom takes a lot of work. You have to get the lawyers corralled and you also have to transport prisoners in and out of court. The transportation officers in this piece are one person. I was able to get two sketches of him while he was minding his prisoners. He liked the sketches.

Sixth and Brazos

This was inspired by a photo taken during our Pecan Street Festival. Its a festival that happens twice a year here in Austin. This bus stop always has a cast of characters. In fact that describes Sixth Street in general.

California Dairy Country

During one of our many trips up to Point Reyes, California we stopped for me to capture images like this one. My partner found it unbelievable that I could name the various livestock. I always remind her that I was a Future Farmers of America member while in high school. These were Holstein dairy calves. They were curiouse about me and my camera I must say.

Back to the Courtroom

This guy was accused of raping a homeless woman. His lawyer had an interesting defense that included many things that a female jurist would have held him in contempt for. I think this guy got a few years on this one.
