Great Time with Oscar

Just had to post this ...

Here's Oscar with my Portrait Painting and Drawing class, week two. My dad brought in sunflowers for all the gals. Lots of hugs and good cheer. Oscar's been the very best muse.

He's a wonderful reminder that portraiture is more about heart and soul than flesh and bones. Thank you, Oscar!
