Life Drawing #29
I blame Dorothea Tanning. I went to her exhibition at the Tate Modern and was blown away by her later large paintings where intertwined body parts come in and out, like some fever dream or classical nightmare, in fact my favourite is called ‘Insomnias’. It’s very surreal and I was already planning to try painting…

After last week’s triumph, we have these children of a lesser god. Something about her neck confused me and I couldn’t get it right…interesting how I…
