gourd 11 x 14 oil


I saw this beautiful gourd last week at whole foods. There was a pile of them and they looked like little green vases piled on one another. It was hard to pick just one. The cinderella pumpkins are gorgeous too. I plan on painting more of these. I started going downtown to the open draws and also had a figure painting class start last week. It felt great to be able to go. I had the feeling the days following.. hard to explain. It was kind of like i was telling myself... oh there you are ....if that makes sense. I haven't been able to paint the figure in 15 yrs. How do you go about getting a nude model? I always loved painting/drawing the figure. So to go back to that after so long was like a rediscovery.
