Paper Dolls by Vann ~ The Model
Posted By Norm van Maastricht on November 23, 2008
This lovely lass turned out to be my most important model now that I think about it. Certainly the one I photographed most.
She would patiently do whatever I asked when I was learning to use my first Nikon camera and some of the shots of her are the best I have ever taken.
Since my paintings used photos for a base it was natural that she was the focus of several attempts.
I believe I made at least four paintings of her. Some came out well… some did not.
I actually sold two that were based on her. She is the only real person, as in ‘person I actually knew’ that was the subject in any of the paintings I have actually sold to date.
This is one of my most commented on paintings when people see a photo of it. It is her head superimposed on a model from an ad I saw in a Cosmo magazine. She did not actually pose for this painting…I’ve never seen her unclothed. But it’s a good capture, I think…
It’s beautiful, to tell the truth…
Even if I do say so myself…
I think she may have it now…
I really don’t know…
I forgot to ask…
