Heater
ink and oil pastel
9.5" x 12" (24.1 x 30.5 cm)

A heater is a necessary piece of studio equipment when working with a model, particularly when working in a basement studio in the winter in Winnipeg. The parabolic heater in this drawing is old, but excellent.

The pastel in the drawing has been blended in some areas using paint thinner.

The model for this drawing was a young contemporary dancer.
