Ron in Sandals 30”x24” Oil

Working from life, the artist may face unforeseen problems that will disrupt the painting process. This happened this morning, Ron our model, for health related situation was able to model for only an hour. I had two choices to make either to wipe out what I had accomplished during that hour or else work a little more from memory. I opted for the latter. When working from memory the tendency is to simplify. And that is not a bad thing. Personally, I think it turned out okay. I like the simplified look with minimum detail.
