A couple of my sketches of the pose “G” provided in a session last Friday afternoon from the side of the modeling stage. It was a crowded studio. Others had the better views of the pose, so a couple of them ended up sort of posing too.

She just appeared. 

Wasn’t there at all, 

and then she was.  

Then of course, 

My pen wouldn’t stop

again.

 

A rare moment working on something I should be working on. It didn’t last.
