Sharon in a Reclining Pose in Class

Oil on Gessoed Rag Board, 6" x 8 1/4" $150.00

SOLD

I painted this sketch in homage to my favorite

model, Sharon, because she posed for my class

today. She never fails to inspire me, even though

she has been modeling for me, and for my classes,

for almost fifteen years. She just knows what to

do, modelling-wise, and her wistful and witty

Irish personality (her father was from the Old

Country) permeates the room when she is in

it. Her hair is red now, but for the sake of the

color harmonies of this piece, it isn't.

I enjoyed myself doing this, even though

I had to teach today and didn't have much

time left to do it. It isn't perfect, but I'm

pretty happy with it.
