This was my first paining of Timmy. I first saw Timmy at the local grocery store with his beautiful young son. I thought Timmy was one of the most beautiful men I had ever seen. He is a tall and thin with strong sharp facial features and dread locks to his waste. Later I started to ask around, and my secretary knew him. I had her make the introduction. Timmy, an artist of found objects, came over to model many times
Timmy
I created this drawing of Timmy over several afternoons while he stood on the back patio with his back to the sun.
I felt terrible for the sunburn on his bare back side. This drawing hangs in my studio and I think of him often. In my world of cautious collectors and insecure artist, it is a joy for me to hang out with models totally comfortable in their own skin.
