studio coatrack

SOLD
$70 - 8x10"painting
The bad news is, I was late for life drawing and I had to sit in the back. The good news is, there is a wonderful coatrack at the back!

    What a fun thing to paint! It goes to show that a model isn't always required! :0D

    I love this!! I am really intrigued by the bottom shelf and the darkened edges. That you can paint clothes on hangers is just amazing. I have a hard time painting clothes no matter where they are!

    This painting is one of my favorite of yours, there is so much expression in your work.
    Congratulations on your DPW interview, great interview and wonderful exposure for you. You have inspired me to pick up my sketchbook and draw.
