Here is another for the pile here...

36x24 oil on Canvas...

"The incomparable, Jim Wilkes"

Jim is a crazy old model that sits for me all the time. Jim fills me up with the best stories when he sits for me so I hire him often.
Johanna Spinks was painting with me in my studio for the first sitting of this one. We had a great time... Jim has no filter on his mouth so needless to say there was lots of blushing going on... Jo is a good sport though.

He's a professional Santa Claus every year too, but with some of the stories he tells, I wouldn't want to be sitting on his lap!

Enjoy
