10: The Last Pose is the Hardest –March 2011; Acrylic on newsprint 18''X24''

I was getting bored at the end of a two-hour figure studies session, towards the end of the last twenty-minute pose. I decided to write “The Last Pose is the Hardest” on the piece, sort of justifying the frustration of my attention waning. When I re-visited the piece a few days later, I found that it reflected a spirit inside of me that contrasted the seriousness and control that I started the session with, revealing a more natural art practice.
