Is there a Boa in Your Closet?

For the past week, this has been what my students have been painting in class.  What better way to allow them to loosen up...Lingerie & a Boa!  It's fun to see how they approach this subject.  From fear to fearless but in the end, they all did well.   I've had the advantage of studying the subject for a week and couldn't wait to paint it myself.   Headed to my closet again for some inspiration.  BTW, I just purchased the boa a couple of weeks ago.  Not a standard item in my wardrobe.

What a great idea! I love the hanger, too. I don't own a boa but I think I know where I can borrow one.I want to try this. Nice painting, Kelley.
