A New Experience

A few years ago I met Daniel. Fascinated with the stories of the American west, he found a job in Flagstaff, AZ  and moved from Germany so that he could be close to the Grand Canyon and the West.  When he learned that I enjoyed painting male nudes, he asked to model for me. He wanted the experience of modeling nude and I of course was delighted.  He wanted the prop of the buffalo skull with him in the painting, a moment of the West.
