Yesterday, I posted “one of today’s paintings”. But as
usual, the one and a half hour afternoon session resulted in three large 16” x
20” water colours. Here are the other two.
A session begins with five minutes of catching up on the
week’s events. Then, in complete silence we get down to work. After four years of working together, words are
superfluous. There are no set poses. Annabelle is free to stretch and turn as
she pleases. My task is to get the result of one stretch and turn down on paper
before the next. It is not easy. Digging ditches would be less exhausting. And
the same goes for the model. At the end of the session we are rarely sure of
what we’ve accomplished. It is too soon to judge. In fact, followers of these
diary pages are very likely able to form an opinion before we do.
