Oh, wow! Fliss has been immortalized!!! Well, at least for a few months, right? I mean, a few months on the Savannah Art Wall at 34th and Habersham Streets, but who knows how long on the internet?
This kickstarter project has been very good to me!
Even if it did come as a little shock to me that I had so much gray in my hair. (Odd; the mirror must lie!)
Two weeks ago, I received a notice from the the good folks at SeeSAW that Troy Wandzel was the next artist to paint the Wall. He likes live models and had asked that local kickstarter supporters, as well as all interested others, come by during his week to get their portraits done. Of course I went!
Thursday, June 21st, fit nicely into my schedule. I had to wait my turn behind three young blonde lasses, but the day was gorgeous and music was provided, so I was good! I even danced a little! Then it was my turn to be captured.
Troy was very fast with his painting. That was partly due to the fast-drying nature of the paint, but also it was his style, perfected over the years. A few quick strokes, some washes of color, and a little fine-tuning: done!
These last two are of the finished Wandzel painting, taken today. I was very pleased that he had incorporated the "Turtle Island" landscape into his world of flower people. Then again, it speaks well of him that he has such respect for another's work.
I wonder what the next artist will do?
