Since many years I’ve had an idea whose execution on canvas still awaits it’s day. One of several.

I’ve spent many hours trying to create it. Numerous photo shoots and paintings and sketches later it still eludes me.

Last year Kayla suggested we try again and she’d be the model.

I was mesmerized by her winning interpretations of the concept. She nailed it.

One of the valuable parts of the process is showing the art and listening.  Kayla’s grandmother said, “she looks fat.”

So I made some changes and it’s a better picture : )
