45: Facing Your Demons, Fearing the Pinnacle and Painting Eggs with Sarah Marie Lacy

Mike opens his online shop and talks about a couple of challenges. Mike then welcomes artist and teacher Sarah Marie Lacy to the podcast to talk about her journey from Canada to France and back as a formally trained artist. Sarah discusses her early beginnings and how the discovery of a piece in a coffee table book written by a nun brought her to a Studio Escalier. They talk about the challenges with portraiture, the beauty of the human body especially light on cellulite, and the special connection between model and artist. To help you break out of your shell, Sarah then provides some “eggcellent” homework that may leave you a bit scrambled. shop.mikehendley.com ElegantUtility Sarah Marie Lacy Sister Wendy Beckett - BBC show 1000 Masterpieces of Western Art - Sister Wendy Beckett Diego Velasquez - Waterseller of Seville Kristy Gordon Artist Studio Escalier Egg painting - @smlacy on Instagram  Self portrait “all of my demons tell me to give up” - @smlacy on Instagram ===== How to reach Sarah Marie Lacy ===== Instagram - @smlacy smlacyart.com - Web site ===== How to reach Mike Hendley ===== MikeHendley.com Instagram @Mike_Hendley Twitter @MikeHendley Show notes at DrawingInspiration.fm ===== Want to Support the Podcast ??? ===== Support "Drawing Connections" on Substack Rate and Review on Apple Podcasts Share the podcast with friends and family Podcast theme music is “Acid Jazz” By Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0
