Record amount of snow in Boston! Total 109.1 inches and counting! Not painting much at all either! Of course I love your most recent post! Love all your art! I so love seeing the sketch of you relaxing on the beach! Love, love, love, all your photos! So much sun and warmth! Love your wonderful life drawings! Mother and Child awesome! When I was an undergraduate I was fortunate to also have a mother and baby pose for us in a life drawing class! When shoulder is better will get back to painting and write more! Take care Wendy!

It is always interesting to see the older work from other artists (and ourselves), to see where we came from and what we were doing years ago.<br />I am always amused and sometimes surprised when I pull out my old work!<br />Patrick Swayze! You, not me, but I did paint some of my own 'fan' portraits!<br />Ha Ha!<br /><br />What a beautiful colorful summer you have down there!<br />Keep drawing... and painting...David Teterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747334525619423349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885803560747547484.post-50839939993320469192015-03-13T05:33:32.236-07:002015-03-13T05:33:32.236-07:00Thanks Laura!

CanĀ“t you use the photos to work with the paint after coming home? But I know that alot of the contrast dissapears on the photos, so in reall life it is easier, I know. Feels kind of strange to read about the beach nowadays as we have winter here in Sweden haha. But SOON we have summer too. Can hardly wait!
