Well, I sat for my portrait or rather for a demonstration. Paul demo’ed how to create a pastel portrait using me. It came out fantastic. I should have also sat for the oil portrait. Kim is going to sit for the watercolor. I wonder what type of watercolor he’ll be doing. This should be great.

I sat for 25 mins with 10 mins breaks. Then we had cookies, ones I made, and when I sat again, he forgot to turn on the clock. So, I wound up sitting for an hour. I was glad to do it. I’d rather site for 1 hour straight then break it up in 25 min increments.

Now I have to get it framed. He doesn’t use fixative because it’d change the values but that means I have to ask Stanley Maltzman. He’s one of our pastel artists and a good friend.

It’ll be going up. Kim’s too. This’ll be our second Hudson River Valley Art Workshops artist to go up on the walls. Stanley was the first.
