Michelle, your twenty bucks are in the mail.
I especially appreciate this from you since I know you earned your dues on the street drawing passersby, as did I. You know, I really am taking entirely too much credit here for the knockout beauty of this model. The way the light hit that jaw - it just blew me out of the water. I've been painting in life classes and open studios for ... hmmm... maybe fifteen years, nine of them here in the Valley where I have good access to models. When things click it is a huge rush of endorphins.
Speedy painting from life like this is probably kind of a parlor trick, like juggling or maybe flipping your eyelids back on top of your eyeballs.
Mischa, you are very kind to say this, and I'm really enjoying your wit and talent here on the Forum.
Julie, I also enjoy your work, and thank you for these kind comments!
