This had more to do with what her instructor suggesting she paint than with Sophia’s interests. She admired her instructor’s talents, but it would not be too long before Sophia would break out of the beginner’s box and venture into very complication subjects like glass, fur and feathers, and complex portraits.

Untitled (Nude Woman) Painting by Sophia Ehrlich, September 2002 Watercolor. This is the only nude study Sophia painted. She was more interested in painting faces and people in situations that would portray a story, not just a mood.
