Yesterday I put some final touches on a painting of Ellie. Ellie, daughter of fellow Atelier artist and friend, Brenda Drake, posed for both my summer class and for our Atelier live modeling sessions. Ellie's back at school -- and my work yesterday was finishing up one of her hands and playing around with the skirt -- the kinds of tasks that seem to be okay to do from a photo.
Thanks, Ellie, for being an inspiring model. (Love Mom's clothes, too.)
