New paintings

I previously mentioned the course I just took with Paul Levielle.  I just posted the pictures of the people we painted and the results during the week.  Gus was our first model.  He is a 92 year old gentleman who still works as a CPA with a full client base.  He likes to come to the classes with his friend and visit with the other people.  He was a delightful man.  His portrait was the first one that I did that week--on Monday evening.
The lady in the red hat was the only model during the week whose name I did not learn.  She has modeled at this facility before and came with a variety of hats and at least 2 different outfits.  In the morning she posed in a black hat and a pink dress.  This was her pose in the afternoon and the 6th portrait I did.  Both this one and the one of Gus was done in a couple of hours.
The portrait of Meaghan was done all day Friday and the was the final effort of the week.  Hence it is a little more refined and smoothed.  Meaghan was our waitress in the Inn during the week.  She is a college student, hoping to become a lawyer.  She is a harding working young lady with direction and drive and a very supportive fiance.
I think the portraits show a bit of growth over the week, the result of the excellent teaching of Paul.
