CM-23- Nude With Shawl
12x16, 5.5x4

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--This was the first of other nudes to follow. In every case, no illustrations were shown on the package, encouraging painters to view this subject in the privacy of their own home. I believe the first time Nude with Shawl was shown in public was in a publicity photo of Arthur Godfrey painting the subject while recuperating from hip surgery.

CM-24- Crucifixion
12x16, 4x5.5

We decided that stained glass was a medium to tell the story that almost everyone could relate to. The success of this kit set the stage for other religious subjects to follow.

16x12, 4x5.5
