It's cold outside

Luckily, though, it was warm in the room where this beauty was posing for us life-drawers.

Yesterday, I took some work to a new venue for me: the Fine Art Gallery in Llanidloes, run by Dee Doody who also focuses on paintings of animals, but has some quality work of other subjects by other artists too.

Today will be a studio day, and this week promises to be a big life-drawing week, but I'll also be preparing for my first fair of 2012: the Made in Shropshire Fair in the Square, Shrewsbury, next Saturday. I'm really hoping the freezing weather relaxes its icy grip somewhat by then....
