Study of "A" with raised knees

This is an intimate portrait of a very close friend. We have known each other for twenty years and she is also one of my collectors. She had never posed for me before and decided that she wanted to become a muse and a part of my work.

I believe in letting my sitters be themselves. In the past I have worked in my models homes where I discovered that when a model feels secure a different kind of imagery and emotional quality can be had. This drawing is part of my ongoing intimate moments series.

This work of art is done on acid-free paper. The drawing is created in Liquitex Professional Acrylic Ink and Winsor & Newton Watercolors. The work is signed. I provide a certificate of authenticity.
