We were graced with the presence of a youthful model at life drawing class this time. She was nearing the end of her pregnancy, a mere days away from her due date, in fact. And yet she continued to honor her work commitments. She sat there, legs crossed, wearing nothing but a face full of melancholy. Her figure was that much more curvaceous in her pregnant state. I imaged the baby she carried to be a girl who undoubtedly would grow up to be a beautiful woman. This painting is a well wish for this pair of beauties.
