| This
astonishingly trim and fit septugenarian graced my last
semester's studio art class with his modelling presence
one serendipitous afternoon. He held amazingly still for
an old timer -- this pose was 2.5 hours long (with a few
breaks in between), if memory serves correct.The combination
of crisscrossed limbs, dramatic lighting, and well-defined
physical features made for an inspired drawing session.
This piece has since been framed and hung in my father's/stepmother's
living room. |
