Sionna No.1 30”x24” Oil. Sionna a new model this morning in the 3-hour figure painting from life session great model and a charming personality.

I enjoy painting figurative works such as this more than any other subject. Reason being, painting the figure is always a challenge, especially in a 3-hour session, and  the outcome is unpredictable. Never the less it is worthwhile activity. It took me years doing this type of work to turn out to my satisfaction. At this time in my career I almost always come the outcome is okay, sometimes very satisfactory, occasionally it turns out a piece that I really like even with all the blemishes that often I cannot avoid and leave them in, and a few times the outcome is a total failure.
