Becca Becca

I’m very relaxed with BL. She laid on a piece of paper prepared with a blue tint.

She has a delightful womanly body and I love moving around her, and studying her beautiful belly and crotch. I made detailed drawings.

She has lovely white skin and she seems to like it when the brush runs alongside her body.

Her drawing looks like the faded star map from Grand Central Station, before they cleaned off the cigarette smoke.

04/04/2005 - Battle of the Trees

The idea of letters – I’m seeing these women as letters in an alphabet,  “A” is for A___ P____, “B” is for B____ M____, "M" is for M___ S____, “R” is for R____K____,  "L___ L___" is for L_____ L______, aka R_B_G_, or Rainbow Girl, "P" is is for R_____ P____,  Somehow these women have become entwined in my own archetypal alphabet/tree imagery, something similar to what Graves was talking about in alphabet evolution, the myth of the Battle of Trees, the history of willow, alder, birch and oak, etc., and letters themselves.

04/14/2005 - B____ L____

This is the first drawing I did of Becca L___.

Becca has earth mother energy. She is handsome, not beautiful, but is exquisitely formed. She is sculpted, and so has a raw energy.

It is an lethargic, and unfocused energy. Her little dog seems to be the focus of her animation, and attention.

We talked about her interest in fashion and textiles.

Her little mutt weighs barely a pound. She’s tied him to my wicker chair, and he whines incessantly during our session. During the breaks she goes to him and picks him up and brings him over for me to snuggle as well. There is something alarmingly sexy about Becca. I’m visited by restive dreams of sex once she’s gone – I wonder if we'll meet on a transcendental plane, I pay her fee, she dresses.

Then we smoke and play with her doggie and talk about art.

04/14/2005 - Her Little Dog

Becca L____ arrives with her little dog, and a kit filled with period lingerie.

Most of the modeling she does professionally involves wearing all sorts of old fashioned bras and girdles and so forth.

I'm not into fetish.

I show her the work and tell her that would be interesting at some point in the future, but today I’d like to do a direct drawing. I had anticipated her being inhibited – not at all – she sits on my bed and strips naked.

I lie her down on the bed of white paper. The brush visits every nook of her body. After four exchanges of small talk it is clear to me that Becca is another victim of manic depression, like so many of my models, like so many women. She has big bones, ample hips. She loves it when I go around her and giggles incessantly when the brush touches her ears and fingers.

This is the second drawing, done during my first session with Becca. She brought her little dog, and we had a good time smoking afterwards.

06/23/2005 - Back at it

Becca and I are back at it.

 . . . a short evening of work.

 . . ..  . she rode away on her bicycle.

06/13/2005 - Old Magic

Becca came to the new place.

It was hard to feel the old magic . . .

Nevertheless, we played with her little dog

 . . . and talked a lot and made this piece,

 . . .  which is very matronly and straightforward.
