Can boys play here too?

Bill Whitaker likes to quip that he has more dresses than his wife does!

I find it interesting that I have a new found interest in clothing for both men and women and am constantly in search of cool drapes, clothes and props for paintings. I have a growing collection of drapes, scarves, dresses, puffy shirts, swords, chairs, vases, etc.

I recently found a lady friend of my wife who had several Kimonos direct from Japan. She loaned them to us and I got a wonderful model to sit for a couple of hours of sketching and photos.
