on Tuesday nights was a very beautiful man. The
pose was one of those sitting straight, fairly stiff
setups, that let most people get a view of the face
(or at least that's how it's been explained to me
before.) No one actually ever sits quite so rigidly,
and the model off the stand was a relaxed fellow.

But I liked the almost fierce quality in his stare. The
lighting was also stark, but interesting. I joked around
with some of my friends, painted quickly and surely,
and went home early to try and accommodate my
still lingering cold, and some work I needed to do.
I'm fairly pleased with parts of it. As always I learn
so much watching other painters work even for an
hour.
Have a working-quickly-and-happily day.

Your paintings are never boring! I love to see your colorful, energetic work. Your model looks like he was really interesting and fun to paint.
There is nothing like painting with friends! What a joy! :-)

I just love that blue stripe of color in the background. Great touch.
Love the immediate impact of this Barbara. It has so much freshness and vitality.
Barbara,
I really love the skin tones you used in this one. Beautiful. And I, too, like the strong blue stripe- very dynamic.
Nicki
Strong and beautiful!
