The maximum length pose held in the "Stars of Seattle" room was twenty minutes. I had to do some seroiously fast painting! It was a good oportunity to loosen up. Kitty Baby Burlesque was a great model. I don't remember if this was a ten or twenty minute pose. I do remember that she held a huge, sparkley smile the entire time. Made my cheeks hurt.
Another pose after a quick costume change. She was still smiling! Amazing cheek muscles that woman has.

Last weekend I volunteered at the Gage's Drawing Jam in Seattle. What a terrific event for artists of all levels and ages. I know of no other place where you can take your pick of live models in four or five different rooms, sculpt in another and have your kids learn how to make lino prints in yet another. I was a studio monitor in the "Stars of Seattle" room. The Seafair pirates are absolutely in that catagory.
