In Serenity, Richard Schmid, the painter’s painter, conveys a sense that his model, Jamie (one of his favorites) is in a dream state, enjoying a contemplative reverie. Her pose is classical, her finely drawn hands and feet relaxed, and the ivory draperies over and around her give her the appearance of a Greek polychrome marble, as one would see on the Parthenon.
