His Technicolor Indiana Muse

HELEN'S WORLD, oil on canvas, 55.5x84 in. Robert Townsend

In 2014 artist Robert Townsend found some amateur slides on ebay that featured a woman with jet black hair, mod dresses, and a wonderful smile. Her name was Helen and she became his unlikely muse. He has spent ten years of his life devoted to painting her. Below is a trailer for the doc "My Indiana Muse".
