Heather answered my post on CL for a model. It was snowing that day, odd for Chattanooga this time of year. Flakes as big as frogs were falling but not sticking to the roads. I had two heaters on Heather in her leather chair but the still weren’t enough. Working with someone who’s getting goose flesh makes me rush the drawing so I shot a reference for her face and will post the finished pastel when I’m done. Heather was a good sport and a real trooper dealing with the chill.
