People working, not thinking about posing, take such beautiful body positions and you could never set it up in a figure drawing class. I don't know if I ever will get around to painting something from these, but the images are quite inspiring for me. I just have to get back to painting. Do you remember Breugel's painting, The Blind Leading the Blind? Some of the group positions on the roof top reminded me of that great painting. K Thanks for the comments, Chris.

I've been hosting some workers this week as well -- as they attempt to straighten out the crumbling walls of my garage --- ooops -- I mean, studio. There's so much a person has to know in this life - and I'd rather just take a trip to the art museum.
