LA PARISIENNE

La Parisienne, ( not the original title), was painted as a book cover for Ballantine Books bak in the 1980s. The process of getting two models to look like they are madly in love and actually in a believable setting, I used reference from magazines, but what was really required was the ability to mae up stuff. I learned that lesson well. The reference is almost never right, so the illustrator steps in! That also applies to the figures.
