Just when I was about to give up art (yes, again) curiosity got the better of me when the organizer of the bottom line promised an interesting model for this morning.  I decided "what the heck" and went.

I accidentally tore a pastel picture I had put a lot of hours into, but wasn't liking, and my latest coloured pencil drawing is a disaster in the making.  Not a good art week.  But on the up side, we've had no death threats yet this week! 

This stunning creature in my drawings is my new favourite model. She's an extremely physically fit female (you probably noticed) that was graceful, and extremely professional.  She didn't move even the slightest amounts during her poses and had the loveliest chocolate coloured skin I've ever seen.

On the down side, when I went to pick up my work from the show that just finished, I noticed that it was damaged.  Both works had some damage on the frame and one with a scratch on the glass.  Disappointing considering the cost of the framing jobs.  The owner said she'd deal with the worst one (the other was not bad enough that I left it.)  We'll see.  I may have yet another fight on my hands.  I suspect once they removed the works from the walls after the Figureworks show to put up the new show they stored it incorrectly.  Sigh!
