Thanks Denise,
The mouth of Pandora is something that was fun for an unusual reason. The model, a college student from Armenia, sat numerous times for this painting, as I painted it from life. I guess the oddness of the situation for her was always in her mind. She would assume the pose and before long she would start to smile and then have difficulty in not laughing. I don't think she was concerned with what the piece would ultimately look like, she only saw herself sitting in a room, staring into an empty box.
It was one of those situations that was like giggling in church, the harder you try to stop, the worse it gets.
When she finally got used to the pose, she was a wonderful model.
