Bianca

Bianca is a great model with real poise and grace. I loved the angle on this pose and tried to get the feeling of weight leaning over the table. I hope I get a chance to paint her some day.

Lilly

Not as craggy as the geezer in the last post. Also fresher and more clearly seen I hope. Hoping to get this right one day.

Thursday therapy

I remember seeing a programme on tv about people who suffered from a rare condition in which they spasmed all the time. They were unable to carry out any normal tasks without great discomfort. However one lady could suspend this horror when she concentrated on playing the flute. The tremors ceased. Not that I'm comparing my stress in any way to their suffering but sometimes when I'm concentrating on a Life drawing the problems and worries of the day can disappear. I wonder whether this intense concentration can affect the neural connections and ease the mind. Krikey that was along winded way of saying it was a good session
