CSOPA Model Artists
Believing this topic most valuable a few years back, CSOPA invited member-artists to pose for eachother for two hours over several weeks. A surprising benefit we gained was a great appreciation for professional models!
All three shown here are oil on 20" x 16" canvas.
First is my study of CSOPA Co-Chair, Cindy Wagner. I was inspired by the demo that Nelson Shanks did of Marissa Tomei at the ASOPA event at the Met, and donned a crown of flowers in her hair. Cindy is a wonderful artist, friend, and leader. Look for her in DC this May!
The second is Grace DeVito whose name, I promise, will become very familiar to you all one day.
Last, but not least, is my quick painting of another wonderful painter and frequent award winner, Karen Martin.
