What can I say about Monica?  It's always an adventure.  Behind this semi-serious look is a laugh waiting to burst out.

Always a pleasure to paint the ever so gregarious Devin.with his amazing dreadlocks.

This lovely model with her swan-like neck and elegance only lasted two sessions due to personal complications. Would have loved completing the painting.

Figure painting in progress.  Wonderful model and nice guy. After my initial quick line sketch I started applying the paint. Very cool skin color in this lighting, I placed the light way above the figure to get some dramatic shadows. I usually work the entire canvas simultaneously but I got caught up in this great face so I'm working my way down and will add some final touches to the head as I go along.
