Figure I

March 1, 2016 Meredith Gillespie

This is the first piece in my new series. I am harkening back to some of my favorite figure drawings. Most of these have been with me for a while now. The idea launched from "Naps with Cats". I loved painting the figure and thought I would try translating some of my favorite figures into paintings. These are acrylic paintings on wood panel. Here is a peak at #1.

I am a classically trained artist whose work is held in private collections around the country. My artistic career began as a medical illustrator in 2003. After spending ten years focused on the fast-paced med-legal illustration world, I rekindled my lifelong passion for creative art in 2013 when I began creating custom works for a variety of clients. Pet portraits quickly became a popular item for clients. In addition to these paintings, my range includes a wide variety of animal drawings, rural landscapes and extensive studies of the human figure.
