Very well drawn Michael not an easy pose....you were a skinny dipper were you 😂

Thanks Carole and Gudrun. Yes Carole, I tried naked public swimming but was warned by the police and had to stop ‘cause people were in chaos and fear. Up here the North Sea is very icy Gudrun and the whole body reduces in size considerably when we wade in.

Thanks Linda, Heather and Cesare.

Brilliant drawing Michael

Excellent drawing Mick, I agree with Carole not an easy pose.
