Busy day today drawing and painting at the Heliconian Hall, 35
Hazelton Avenue for Doors Open Toronto.  When my model 
couldn't make it, a young family member stepped in, and she
was wonderful.  We had so much fun.  

If I have time I'll post the drawing I started with.  We had two
hours, and then I did this painting in 10 minutes posing, 10
minutes breaking.  So maybe all in all we had 50 minutes.
It could go further, but right now it's on loan to the model.

The whole experience was great.  Thanks to the Heliconian volunteers
who organized it, and City of Toronto volunteers who helped, and 
of course, my husband who carried supplies, and my model.

Have a loving your life day!
