This site is brand new and it is under construction.

In the coming weeks this site will expand to include detailed information about fine art portraits available by commission from Shug Yagel McBay

A Portrait Gallery will display works in graphite, pastel, watercolor, casein and oil. There will be links to the websites of master portrait artists with whom I have trained and resource links for viewers interested in learning about classical realism. There will also be a link to a new website featuring my in-studio program, "Great Artist Studio", where children—ages 10 to 14—and adults can learn the fundamentals of true draftsmanship and fine artmaking.

Still interested?

Here are a few more samples of my work. I am "mastering" my own web site and still have a great deal to learn, so my apologies to those of you who have a browser that will not scroll easily. I will fix that in the very near future.
