hips

life_drawing_05_03_08.jpg

Wasn't great tonight, but I kind of like these two little sketches. They were beautifully tight hips, as if she was wearing a corset. Pure jealousy of course, I myself have hips made to bear twelve children. My brother used to blame my never having been allowed tight jeans. He probably doesn't even remember ever having said that. I remember so many totally weird things people have said on occasion. I could compile a book full of strange quotations. My father used to say that fat women always wear florals. In the end that will be all that is left of us, a strange quote or two.

And a special treat for all English speaking Dutchophiles!

I always remember the strange things people say. They haunt me sometimes.

Another one, one of my art school teachers way back when. "Never trust a ruler."
