1996

Early in 1996 (on the 3rd February to be precise) I produced this oil painting of Tanya at the Croydon Life Drawing Group. I say on 3rd February but I drew two pastels of her the week before (in those days we normally had the same model and pose for two weeks). I've completely forgotten but I suspect I used the pastels to block in the painting at home after the first session then took it along to the second session to finish it off.
