Portrait of Michelle Dunaway by Richard Schmid
"A day of painting at Richard Schmid's home and studio with artists Nancy Guzik , Scott Burdick, and Susan Lyon evolved into an unexpected and lovely experience when Richard asked me to model for them and then decided to turn it into his latest instructional video"
Richard always starts the painting session with a bit of humor!

Taking a break
"What a wonderful and inspiring day, it was the first time I had modeled for Richard. We have painted together many times over the years and I treasure the beautiful painting he did that captures my serious side and the focused aspect of my personality as an artist. The portrait, a lovely gift from Richard, now hangs in my studio. Each time I look at it, it inspires me to continue to work with diligence, be focused on what I love, and dedicated on my path as a fine artist" ~ Michelle Dunaway
