Ode to Artists' Models

Yesterday I had the experience of being an artist model for a professional photographer. I engaged him to take some new photos of me for this site and other purposes.  We did about 2 hours of pre-planning for the photo session. I thought it would be...forgive me...a snap!  Matt of Legacy Image Design, Colorado Springs, was fabulous...encouraging, detail-oriented, artistic, and efficient, and it still took over 2 hours. It was fun being the center of attention (see my painting of the same name), but whew! posing is hard work! So, this blog post is a very heartfelt "thank you" to all artists' models everywhere and to my models specifically. Thank you to every person who has modeled for me.  I really appreciate all the hard work that you did.
