Cari Amici (Dear Friends),
Art modeling is not a job that just anyone thinks of finding. In fact, I would say that few people might even actually think about this kind of work.
The Dave Project is part of AVAA’s COLLABORATION Exhibit at the Dougherty Arts Center, AUGUST 5 – 28.
The king of models, Dave Larson, is the subject of this painting titled “Praise.” Dave is wonderful because he really works at coming up with interesting positions. As he got into this one, he said he was inspired by Michelangelo. It was a lovely pose on his knees with an arched back as his arms were raised above and slightly behind his head. And it was very difficult for him to hold as you might imagine. I cannot remember, but I think he held this for 20 minutes, maybe two 20 minutes segments. I hope you enjoy this composition.
