ASHWINI BHARATHULA CHUCK

I really enjoyed painting our beloved model, Chuck, at an open studio session at the Scottsdale Artists’ School back in January. He always had a smile on his face or a witty joke to lighten the hearts of whomever he came in contact with. I was very sad to learn that Chuck passed away recently, on May 6th. I feel fortunate to have captured him and his spirit months before his pass ing. Rest in peace, Chuck.
