In the style of Lucien Freud, this little painting didn't take long, but was fun and an accurate representation of the model. Plus size models are often just as interesting as many of the thinner models we got in drawing sessions. Beauty exists for different people in different ways. Character is certainly a big aspect.

It ended up being purchased by our local public gallery for $4,000 bucks. Not bad! And I may use it in a future children's book.
I shall not tell you than two woods.
