15 DAYS To Go..EXCITING TIMES...365 Days Of Drawing


15 days to go on the daily drawing 2010 challenge...exciting times ahead, a 52 head portrait project, my second sitter painted today which met the drawing challenge.

I can't say much more except my sitter today was THE most amazing man, 97 years-young, painted in a freezing cold studio, with a life story to tell of such intelligence in career, integrity in life, and overall brilliance with a healthy splash of good humor. I am so privileged to meet and paint people like this. For want of a better word. Wow. ...a few people in the studio alongside, recording, photo'ing, and just plain enjoying the moment, as did I!

How exciting, Johanna..

I for one will be sad when your challenge ends, but I know it will be a relief. However, I am really looking forward to learning about your new adventure!!

The tour and the luncheon were fun... I missed you though. Hope to see you soon.
