Casey at the Bat




Meet Casey. He is a fun-loving, Harley Davidson riding, actor, life drawing model, and electrician. Yes, he is the modern Renaissance man sporting a bandanna and snow white beard. He is also one of the most complimentary and sincere people I have had the privilege to know. When he models, it is not out of the ordinary to see him walk around the room during breaks to talk with the artists and give them compliments on their drawings.

I like this painting for a number of reasons. One of the reasons is that the painted Casey looks tough, rough, and ragged--which is so opposite the warm, lovable character that he is.
