The gift of the studio

It's been a long time since I had a model pose in my studio.  This week a 
wonderful model came three times to sit for me, and it reminded me of
how fun that always was. That painting is not complete so I can't show
it to you. The gift?  When you're painting a model, you don't think
about anything else.  Wonderful.

I'm pretty sure, although the face isn't clear in the image above, and I don't
have a better photo, that this is Shaniece, who was a superb model, and friend.
She now has a family, and I am so grateful to her for the work she
helped me do.

Today we organized renting a van to take my work to my show for the 
April 5 opening.  And as strange as that was, it was also exciting.
Another step in the list of steps to the big event.

Have a loving your life day.

  1. Oh Barbara, this is such a wonderful painting in every way...the subjects, the intense colour, the joy. Thank you for painting it. I have saved it on my Pinterest under Figure Drawing. https://ca.pinterest.com/FloraDoehler/
