So I am drawing fat ladies today. God that sounds patronising - especially as I am a fat man so am in no position to say anything. Well yes and no. The no because I am fascinated by the folds and curves - perhaps it is very primeval as most fertility goddess would not be considered models for any Milan fashion house yet they were seen as the embodiment of womanhood and renewal. Anyway, before I disappear into pseuds corner back to the drawing. This part of an expansion of the portraits into full figures. As a first step this isn't top bad. I also find taking a photo helps me see things that I may have missed - such as one of the hands - although I am not so sure! So to Wagner. I like to listen to classical music whilst working and at the moment Wagner is my composer of choice. The only problem with this is that will always associate him with Hitler and the third reich. Still I am not sure that the valkerye were fat ladies but rather amazonians - but that is another story.
