V early start - grey rainy day, great light. Wanted to stay in studio but its Monday and life drawing. Fabienne modelling. Got caught up in appearances again. Difficult not to with her, shes so pretty and present.
Your vulgarity flawless is but you are the slave of appearances...  knackered already, lunch and rest and have another go. One of this mornings studies may well fit the T of the G; hope so.



later; Dreadful pains in shoulder stopped play. Its now gone 5.00and Ive taken an aspirin. Dinner out; will rest up till then.  Which is by way of avoiding the fact that its a terrible painting and a wasted afternoon.
