Pigeon Trio

This is a composite of faces of a unique model named Pigeon that I created during life drawing class sessions.

She has many looks. I added the pigeon to further identify her.

Conquering Corona

This a modernized portrait painting from a charcoal drawing of Olimpio Fusco by John Singer Sargent dated 1900-1910.  Sargent chose to draw this young Italian boy for his beauty.

I needed a handsome, athletic man and since none was on hand, I picked Olimpio to squeeze the life out of the corona virus.
