This is LEG! – At the moment it is now in poster paint format and about 24 inches high….. BUT…. I am planning to turn it into a painting 6ft x 4ft. This, I can tell you, is not going to be easy. It is a friend’s leg, obviously – it is not easy painting one’s own leg… not even Picasso did it…nor Monet, Manet, Turner, Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Mondrian, Constable, Leonardo Da Vinci Code, Damien, Nick Leg…. none of them…. not one great artist has ever painted their own leg…. I am not a great artist, ipso facto… I paint other people’s legs…. or only one of them… in these days of CUTS… BIG SOCIETY… *We are all innit to win it*… sorry…. *We are all in it together*…. That is all.
Coming soon…..
OK… as @infobunny tweeted it – it is her leg! I am always discreet….. and did not wish to reveal the owner of the LEG!
Charon,
It is a fine leg, as being @infobunny’s, it was sure to be.
But, being an ex-art historian, I am duty bound to point out that Picasso did at least draw his own leg, together with other bits of himself, and a moustache you may find vaguely familiar

NL – Excellent…… Yes… I remember now… but he did it from memory…and not by sitting in a chair and looking at it! And he added other bits… like the rest of the body and a tache !
