Thinking about my art group

As I said I'm on holiday, and taking time off.  We have been
visiting friends tonight, and it's been wonderful.  Great 
talks tonight about art. Scrolling through my blog I found
this painting and loved it. Here's what I said at that time.

"This is a portrait from an art group session.

I love it. and this is what I said about it when I posted it.
"Here's a rapid sketch I did of an elegant British
lady who posed for us one night at our class.
She was an artist's mother, visiting from
England, and a great model. She sat in this very
proper and straight posture, dressed in lush colours.
I like the agitation in my painting. I think I was
just excited by her gutsiness."

Have a loving your life day.
