I haven't taken life drawing classes since I was in college. My friend Barbara told me about this great drop in class at the YWCA in Santa Monica. Great tunes inspire a cool, unstructured vibe in the cavernous gym. I'm loving working in color which is something I never did in art school, where charcoal was king.
Meloni Mitchell is one of my very favorite models. I first worked with her a couple of years ago on a Taryn Rose Shoe campaign. Since then, we've done many shoots for designers and for fun. She herself is a fashion designer and is living in Italy with her husband, Roberto, who is a painter. To see her work.....Link
I have been humming this beautiful tune by Zee Avi, to myself ever since I saw her amazing performance last week at the El Rey. Link I was even humming it yesterday when I stepped on a bee and got stung on my toe. I'm still humming it. RIP Honey Bee.
