Sometimes people who stop by the art studio are dragooned into modeling for us. While Colleen was settling in, before she went into Serious Modeling Mode, she sat and talked with Miranda, who was also visiting the studio that day. So that became the day’s painting.

In justice to Colleen I must point out that I added about 20 years to her age. Call it artistic license.

(Miranda did some posing in her own right, too: see Not Your Mother’s Rat.)
