Another Time, Jonathan

Over the years, Jonathan has posed for our group a number of times and is always excellent.  He changes his "look" often enough so it is like painting some one new.  This 16 by 8 inch canvas was completed in 2 1/2 hours.

Another Watercolor

I thought David was a retired Police Officer with his gruff expression and rigid posture.  He rarely moved during our 30 minute poses but showed his true nature on each break and was a wonderful model.  I really liked his black suspenders!

Back at the Free Model Guild

We just returned from a 3 week tour of China in celebration of our 40th anniversary and saw many of the "main attractions." It was our first guided tour and we stayed amazingly busy the whole time and met lots of interesting travelers. I took way too many photos and will post some on Picasa soon. In the meantime, went to art again today and had a wonderful model named Jeanne. Loved doing her portrait in watercolors...wow have I missed painting!!! BWT, my cast was removed and I am almost well! Hooray!

Model Group at Jantzen Beach

We started the New Year with a great "professional" model. Deana was terrific and is also an artist who may join us for painting in the future.

Saturday Drawing

It was nice to return to our Free Model group.....they are always so consistent....at least a few are "present" and ready even during the holidays. I found this cute young model willing to pose. Hope your holidays were lovely....

Another Free Model Session

Enjoyed a good art group today with our challenging model Ashleya. She was excellent and took my portrait of her home.

Our model works with Geezer Gallery developing collaborative art with young and old participants. What an industrious high schooler!

Another Model Group

Father Hillary was this week's paid model is a Lutheran minister.  He sat almost 3 hours and was as charming as he was an excellent model.
