"Angie Expecting"

12x16 oil on linen piece

quick sketch from life

My new venture! It's been years now that I've been wantig to get together some painters and just simply paint from the model. We had good intentions last winter and ended up only hiring a model once. . . . We've started again on Fridays in the studio to simply study and work from the model from life. What a rush! The time goes by so quickly. This is the first, it will be fun to see how we all improve throughout the weeks. :) We had her for 3 hours and gave her many breaks, especially since she's expecting. :)
