Our production coordinator, Freddie, was kind enough to be our model for the day. He did  a fantastic job!

So I've allotted time on my calendar specifically to paint. The cool thing is Tuesday nights at work is long pose night, where we get a model to pose for us and people can paint or sketch the figure. I'm going to be better about joining this class. I'm really proud of the economy of strokes I used to describe the lips.

Alright, so these "daily" paintings have turned into weekly paintings. Hopefully I can at least keep that up. I've been rather busy taking care of a baby duck.

Here's a lady from the long pose class. She kind of resembles our beloved Arnold Schwarzenegger.
