You bared your soul.
The woman bared her bottom.
The monkey bared his soles.
Your sketches really got ’em

Bare 3, charcoal 3 hours & 15 min sketch . . . (he wouldn’t sit still)
I love seeing your sketches! Your Bare #3 looks like my monkey. Everyone needs a monkey.

Hi, Judith. You are often on my mind, but especially since I started loosely basing a character on you for my fourth novel! Don’t worry names have been changed, etc. Wondered what you were up to and was pleased to discover your “artful” new works. Jane and I are doing well. I’m retired, a grandfather, and grateful for all the giving guidance I received from you. Warm regards, James

Must be fun sketching nudes. Did you, or would you, ever recommend to you computer porno addicts before you retired? You are getting quite good gal.

Linda,
No never did get to see porno addicts – at least no one ever complained about that particular addiction!!!!! Sketching nudes is actually like sketching a building or a tree – you lose sight of the nudity concentrating on lines, contours, shading. I make jokes about it on the blog but it actually is quite asexual. TRY IT!

What I’m wondering is how you got that bear to sit so quietly. And why’s s/he look like a monkey (I assume it’s a monkey… Is that a tail peeking out)?

Jacqui,
He fidgeted. I asked him politely to sit still. He didn’t. He did summersaults. I threatened him if he didn’t sit still I’d lock him in the closet. He didn’t. He jumped up and down. I bribed him with chocolate cake to sit still. He didn’t. I ate the cake. That’s why it took over 3 hours to draw him.
P.S. Shhhhh it’s our secret. 2 Nudes and a monkey are not a good play on words for the title.
