This is a painting I did a couple of years ago of a model that sat for me in my studio. This was a study that was done in a couple of hours. I intended to do an even larger piece later, but put it aside and pretty much forgot about it. I was rearranging things in the studio and came accross it, and decided that I didn`t hate it as much as I thought orignally. Of course, now I no longer have access to the live model, and would have to rely totally on digital reference and this sketch for any future paintings.
