Cheers Joe.... especially French ones in nice uniforms carrying little barrels of booze.... what's not to like?

Roger.

Speaking of French women, I recomend Cecile Corbel on you tube, she doesn't so much sing as seduce the words
It must be my age

A nice figure Roger.
I saw some of the Cantiniere uniforms on a recent visit to Paris, they all have some very interesting details.
This one will be a beauty I'm sure.
Cheers.

Hi Roger,
Unusual subject matter, look forward to seeing the colours develop on this one. I'm interested to see what you do with that face, as she looks like a temperance mistress who has been asked to serve the drink!
cheers
Richie

Thanks very much for the comments everyone.
Richie, I'm not sure there's much more I can do on the face. I'll have a bit more fiddle and then leave it and bring it along on 9th and see what you think.

Roger.

Red pantaloons Rog?- Very colorful!

Lovely subject, I will enjoy seeing this brought to life.

Cheers Rich, you know what they used to say in the French Army about girls in red pantaloons?

Cheers Ken, she's tightly buttoned up, unlike that rebel hussy you did.
