Day 15: Amazing graceful flexibility

She effortlessly swung into this pose and asked "How long would you like? 20 minutes?" We settled on three minutes.

Charcoal on white paper, the picture shows a nude woman in an extreme position holding her  foot bent behind her in the crook of her arm.  In three minutes there is barely time to look and assess, the charcoal flies silently inro speedy action, capturing the basic sweep of the pose, where light and shade falls and that's it.  A lot of fun, like an adventure. Often the result is incomprehensible, but it is the experience of doing it that is the main thing, the result is an added bonus - sometimes.
