I painted this study today, as well as another, a self portrait against Mont Saint Victoire.  I wasn’t able to resolve the portrait, so I didn’t try to finish it.

Spent most of this week in Washington DC at the Emetrics Summit and only got back early Friday morning.

The nude study above was of a Colombia University graduate student majoring in Psychology; actually, I was able to research the model first and then decided to paint her, before coming over to the Brooklyn Artists Gym today.

I also attended an opening of Rick Dragon at BAG, which also happens to be a friend of Drew Knapp (Drew is my oldest friend, someone I’ve known since 1970).
