Sandra came to tea and looked round at my numerous hanging works around the home. She was amused to find three nude figures of herself in my bathroom, as I met Sandra when I was attending life drawing and she was the model! She introduced herself to Clive, my husband, with ' you might not recognize me now as I have my clothes on today'!!
Here is the painting created from three sketches which Sandra could hardly recognise as I altered her size in each pose for the composition and she has now lost a stone in weight!! (you may have seen this painting before as I posted it in April just after it was created)
Sandra has just finished her project as co-designer for the Christmas Show at the Maddermarket Theatre in Norwich 'Merlin and the Cave of Dreams' and is currently working on a series of Norwich paintings ready for an exhibition in Rouen with the Norwich 20 Group.
Todays project was to look at how one creates a blog - so she can't wait to get home and try.

What a funny story. I bet your husband was amused.
Dear Joan, I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! - I like your nude painting, but the Christmas Garland painting is soooooooo beautiful, I had to copy it to a folder in my PC to look at it very often! It is the most beautiful Xmas painting I have seen so far on the blogs!
Keep up the excellent work!
Love from
Claudia
Hi Ellee - how nice to hear from you here in East Anglia. I quickly popped over to what I hoped was your blog to find there is only a profile - but what a profile. Could not leave a message there, so hope you relook at this post. By the way your profile says you are aged 252!!!!!! Thanks for commenting. Hope to hear from you again.
Claudia, what a lovely message. Just arrived back from my daughters (45 miles away) with my two youngest grand daughters, as Laura could not fit everyone in one car - all 6 of them!!! Glad you liked the garland. Happy Christmas.
