Painting Macy is always a challenge because she’s SOOO long at 5 10 1/2 with long feet and hands. Did I say she’s known to quip she would fall over if she had small ones.
First break
The pose was a challenge with her long legs made even longer by the foreshortened pose.
a bit more drawing. I decided to shorten her feet a bit. They can get so huge if they are draw. Accurately. And I skimmed her legs a bit. Been having so much fun with the Canson watercolor board that I decided to use it this am. Get tired of stretching taping a large sheet on my foam core board especially at 8 am. So Canson was the paper of the day.
I also forgot to bring my mechanical pencil and started using a Derwent ebony. I thought it would be soft and dark. I was wrong. It was a hard pencil that did a dark line. A rare find. 
Second break. Macy’s also very pale. As Drew quips bring your white paint Macy is the model.
Still have to do some kind of background.

Wow, what a great set of figure paintings. Will you be hanging them as a series in a venue?

Thanks. They are all by different people. The Saturday morning life modeling group. Most go home to a garage or get painted over. Mine is being donated to a local art fund raiser. But a good idea. I will tell them all what you said. 🤗👍🏻

I doubt that will happen in the Bible Belt. They go into the pile of paintings we have all done on Saturday. It’s quite large. 😳🤗

And some become compost or bird poop collectors 😂

And we did have two shows but had to give them French titles so as to not attract bad attention. Exposition de Nus and Exposition d’art Figaratif. Perhaps it’s time for another?

Sorry to hear that. Especially since my own birth and youth occurred in that same world. And the mixed feelings about representing nude human beings coming from that still dominate my mind. I honor your courage and creativity!

I hear you. It’s a problem. Listening to an audible called Hamilton it’s always been the south’s roll to oppose anything the northeast is for. And nudes would be a part of that same attitude. Will tell everyone what you said. They will appreciate it. Thanks 🤗👍🏻
