unstuck window cleaning

The window cleaner had promised to come for three weeks, the windows were struggling with the concept of transparency and continued phone calls to him resulted in me hearing the ladders go up against the windows at the far end of the studio while I was painting the violinist.

She was naked, playing the violin [as you do] for a large panel. I mentioned that I thought the window cleaner was here, did she mind? We could stop if she wanted. She said, no it was okay, carry on. So, as the window cleaner worked his way down the eight windows of the studio, I applied more and more paint and the violinist bowed vigorously releasing Bach's beautiful music.

Eventually the ladder came up at the window next to us. The window cleaner’s head appeared. He looked at me, he looked at the naked violinist, looked at me again and with a big grin gave me the thumbs up! That particular window is now very clean and he still hasn't called up to be paid.

All in a day's work for an unstuck model.
