Looking forward to seeing you back David - put Saturday October 24th in your diary as we have just had confirmed a Portrait Day with a wonderful new model Veronica, you won't be disappointed, get your name down now. link here http://www.wejoinin.com/sheets/xordd?force_regular=true

Thanks Russell - The problem with the eyes was entirely my fault as I'm now of that age when a little after dinner snooze sets you up for the afternoon, so I went through a droopy phase which must have been annoying for those doing the hard work of painting and drawing. Since my little attempt at modelling I have enormous respect for those valiant souls who sit and stand stock still without any movement, it really is an art in itself and one I probably won't attempt again, leave it to the professionals. What a time you've had looking at Art, it sounds wonderful but also exhausting, I'm looking forward to seeing how it will filter through into your own work as I'm sure it will.
