For about a year before the covid lockdown, I was painting "regular people", and those paintings are in my sitters' possession. I was asking people to sit for me in my studio 2 to 4 times, 2 or 3 hours each time, plus for me to take a few reference photos. In these crazy times, I am open to the idea of painting from photos alone-- ask me.
To have a sense of what I do, here are paintings of people I did in oil at the Art Students League in New York, from professional models, in as little as one 3-hour session and occasionally as many as 10 sessions.
Much gratitude to these patient, self-disciplined people who model for a living. I am also deeply in debt to my instructors Costa Vavagiakis and Mary Beth McKenzie, as well as Tom Torak and Sherry Camhy, who I studied with earlier.
