John Twice

Somehow I neglected to post the painting I did at the South Bay Portrait Group last week. I was surprised that they held the session because the big snowstorm was forecast to start on Tuesday, but I called just to check and they told me we had a model and we were on since the snow wasn't supposed to start until 1. Of course there was already snow on the ground at 9:15 when I called. You have to understand that most of the group is comprised of elderly ladies who don't drive far, walk extremely slowly, and make me feel like a kid. Anyway, John posed for us. He had a really interesting face and was interesting to talk to since he is an actor.

By the time we finished painting there was about 2 inches of snow on all the cars and it looked like a blizzard. I cleaned off the cars for the other "girls" and John and another artist walked everyone down the steps and safely to their cars.

John agreed to come back and pose for us this week and he dressed up a bit for us so it would be different sketching him. He also wore his glasses this week. I did more of a side view of him this time. The portrait from last week looks more like him. lol
