First up, the final version of the painting I posted a little while ago. I added lines in. Reilly says he likes the colors, which aren't coming through as well as I'd like in the photo, but it doesn't matter since your monitor isn't calibrated either. Close enough.

I put together a figure drawing session at our studio. There have been two so far, actually, but I haven't scanned in any drawings from either of them yet. For our first session I got back in touch with the first model I worked with at Dorian's, Hilary Schmidt. She's as wonderful as I remembered her, lovely and full of good poses, and I got some nice drawings out of the session despite being rusty as all hell. I based my next painting on one of them, a very brief sketch. But I decided to try and do the background that was actually there, which is this awesome red fuzzy leopard print sofa Simon brought over which he originally bought in Austria. I'm thrilled with how the painting is going. I'm waiting for the spots to dry so I can fill in the whole sofa color.

I'd also like to note I looked forward for almost a whole year to having a studio with a window and now that I do I find it creates an insurmountable glare problem with all my photos, and occasionally while I'm painting, too.
