Priceless, Stephanie.

Including Joan's pits. I wonder if her fellow model got paid extra. Probably not. Picasso was a bit of a bastard by all accounts, wasn't he?

Which is another thing - given how deeply unpleasant a lot of artists seem to have been to their muses, models, students and sundry others, wouldn't those objects of ineffable beauty they produced be somewhat karmically contaminated by the atmosphere in which they were painted?

Best to stick with a mixing bowl, in every sense.
