When I graduated art school I decided to go out on my own. I was going to try and paint portraits for a living. I knew I would probably starve to death but I had to try. If I wasn't successful I would end up doing corporate art. I found myself a large, cheap loft and I set up my studio. This place had a bathroom with a shower if I wanted to stay over some night, I could.
I found a sofa and a couple of chairs and I moved my art equipment in. I was ready to go. I did manage to get a couple of galleries to show my paintings. The problem was I couldn't afford to pay models. One day I was walking down the hallway to my studio. I saw the cleaning lady mopping the floor. My place was a pig sty. I asked her if she did jobs on the side.
"Let me see your place," she said to me.
I let her in and she looked around.
"This place is a mess," she told me.
I was embarrassed because she was right. I had art supplies everywhere. Old rags I used to clean my brushes were on the floor.
She just shook her head. I didn't know if she was saying no or if she was just disgusted by what she saw.
"How much are you offering?" She asked.
We bargained a bit and then came to a price. She said she could stop by after her shift tomorrow. I found out her name was Betsy. Sure enough around four pm Betsy knocked on my door. She wheeled her cart in and began to clean up.
I should tell you something about Betsy. She looked to be in her early forties. Her hair was starting to go gray. She had it pulled back in a ponytail. I did look her over. From what I could see she had a hot body. I wondered why she was doing this kind of work.
Betsy got my studio cleaned up in record time. I didn't recognize the place. While she was there I saw her looking at my paintings.
"You do pretty good work Matt," she told me.
I asked her if I could paint her. She looked surprised.
"Why would you want to paint me?" She said.
I told her she was a very attractive woman. I was sure I could sell her portrait. She gave me this look like she thought I was pulling her leg. I said that if I sold any paintings of her, I would split the money 50-50. I guess she liked those terms and so she agreed. She told me she could sit once all her work was done at the end of the day.
Betsy showed up promptly the next day. I have this stool with a cushion on it. I told her to get comfortable. I began to block in her face. A thought was running through my mind. I wondered if she would allow me to do her nude. I got up the courage and asked her. She must have thought I was up to something.
I said that I couldn't pay models top dollar to let me paint them in the nude. I could give her some small amount of money if she agreed. She thought about it and said yes. She could use any extra money she could get. I asked her to remove the shirt and bra she was wearing. I almost let out this gasp. Her tits were beautiful.
