Another smasher Michael. Love the shapes, form and colours.

Thanks Carole. She has two thumbs on her right hand. I'd never noticed that before.

Two thumbs eh...gifted woman and nice painting

Very good painting, Michael.

Makes her more interesting Gudrun.

Great painting. Love the pose

It's a very good life drawing Michael. Her skin tones are excellent as is her pose. It's odd isn't it how mistakes are apparent to us once a painting is posted here? I hadn't spotted that thumb either until you pointed it out. It happens to me a lot. My girls often have lots of thumbs and fingers, even too many legs sometimes.. lol. It never really matters to me as I'm not in to photo realistic type work.

Brilliant figure work Michael, your Mrs is very glamorous!

Great figure painting Michael, 😃

The colouring of the body is great and very good drawing Michael.

Thanks Fiona. She works out.

You are so lucky to have your wife pose for you like that Michael!

She's an exhibitionist Frank. No, I make it up.

Really like this - great pose
