I have been doing a "mural" for Vision Gallery in Chandler AZ. It is an artist-on-site event. Not a residency but we initially jokingly were going to call it "Artist In Captivity" and they said just PAINT for a month. When we refined the details, it ended up three weeks of work and my concept was the gallery from the point of view of the ART. I had 36 x 80 inch panels that I put impressions, not portraits of gallery attendees.
With that still in situ at the gallery, they were hosting an event for the Arizona Art Council and asked me to demo. The same day my mother was in town for 24 hours. So killing two birds, I made her my model.
With the least amount of stress a live demo can be, I just started a tonal underpainting and below is artist and model at the stop of my 2 hours and the portrait with one more hour from photos as she drove up the hills to her summer residence.
(I can't seem to attach them. I keep getting that files are only partially uploading. Will try later)
