My Life as the Artist's Model


Well, of course there's the Mona Lisa but I have been more enchanted with the notion of being immortalised like Wendy Whitley or Lizzie Siddons (thank you Desperate Romantics).  This painting by the artist known as Georgia Mars is much treasured.  And then there is this more recent offering by Steve Mars


hmmmmmmm.  What does Wendy have that I haven't got???  Bet no-one has a cane chair to compare with this.

  1. Ha! I'd forgotten about this one. This was done when I was totally besotted with Lauren Child's work (still am). Dad will get there I'm sure. Maybe if you sat in the back of ute....
