Man with Grey Sleep Cap (1973)

12x16 Pastel 

My father took my family to museums in NYC twice a year. New York has many museums, and there are always days of discovery for my sisters and me.  We discussed all types of art and learned about techniques artists used.

Technically,'Man with Grey Sleep Cap' is a perfect example of light-to-dark transitions and the use of shadow and brightness. The focus of this picture is the weathered face of the man.
