Last night's show went well. For the first time, I actually hung around the Upstate Artists Guild longer than usual. Below is a picture of my "muse" and friend Rebecca and the painting of her. I cannot express enough gratitude for her patience in the process. For a first piece of a posed model, I think it went well. As we had limited time, I used photographs instead of sketching or painting directly, which was fortunate, because I changed pictures in the middle of the process.
What is neat about this painting is that I do not think I have seen a photo where the subject is NOT smiling. So, I intentionally had her not smile for this. And we got the sword in the picture.
Below is a picture of yours truly, back to the goatee look after 8 months of full beard. Best to get some sun on my face before the fall.
