I ...Many thanks, Martine, for your very kind words. I often find myself wondering about the models as I paint them. Many times, as I paint, I may even create a fantasy life that fits my image of them. I think this helps free up my brush work and make my painting choices more intuitive and less intellectual. I prefer that mode of painting if I can achieve it. Serj was a great model and a very mysterious man!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899318999574055763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219763774238571564.post-82505809325466207322014-11-12T16:48:24.838-08:002014-11-12T16:48:24.838-08:00Oh, you should have seen the ones I wiped off, Jud...Oh, you should have seen the ones I wiped off, Judy!
