Martha models a lot at the Art Academy. I've painted her many times. She has an interesting face ... you can tell she's had a lot of experiences in life, both good and bad. She always looks serene while she's modeling.

I just finished a Figure Painting class at the Art Academy of Cincinnati (taught by the awesome Gilbert Born). This is one my favorite paintings from the class. Someone said in the critique that it looked like a Circus side show.
