Somebody took a snapshot of me.
Once upon the time there was young man who had nothing but a ladder.
He set out to earn an honest penny working under the ground,
on the ground and
high up above the ground.
Fed up by climbing his ladder and getting nowhere, he decided to become the right man in the right place at the right time. He had it made in no time.
P.S. Note the ladder he left behind in the building. Somebody painted it red.
The Andrews are doing their best to stand still while Thomas Gainsborough is sketching them. Initially, the dog was in the right place.
The dog was soon all over the place or nowhere to be seen.
Ultimately, the Andrews had enough, too.
Despite the trouble with the models, Tomas Gainsborough succeeded in sketching them. The final artwork is a charming combination of Robert, Frances, Dog and landscape.
