Hi Lucy - I do draw/paint from life, but only in the last few days have I posted the larger - for me, anyway - paintings. They are either painted quickly from life or from the hundreds of life drawings I've accummulated over the years. Apparently, I never throw anything away - which is why I need to clean my studio. Sigh.
I have always loved to draw the face and figure. If I'm not actually drawing from the posed model or sketching people going about their everyday lives, I'm probably thinking about it. I seldom miss an opportunity to draw or paint from life and I strive every day to capture not just a likeness of my subjects, but also the more elusive qualities of spirit, mood and emotion.

Do you paint from life, Connie? It's amazing how you can complete one piece of painting almost every day!
