New Term

This morning was the first life drawing day. A very cold day it is too and I felt sorry for any life model who had to take their clothes off in this weather!

and with the heater on in the room you could almost forget it was winter!
Have a nice weekend! :)

Thanks Millie, I hope you had a lovely weekend too. :)
