If someone knows a good one, send it, but it better have no burnings, birdies, or bosoms.

We had League model/instructor Mark MacKenzie dress up in a suit and tie, and sat him in my new (old) green chair. It’s shabby and low to the ground, so he looked angular and awkward, …
Day 21 of our 30 day creative challenge in January was a transcription of Titian’s Bacchus and Ariadne. The transcription didn’t have to be a copy, but I was looking for artists who were seeing the underlying story, structure, movement, and composition – as well as artists who took the inspiration into their own new …
