I called an artist friend of mine, told her about this idea I had for a painting and ask if she knew a pregnant mom who had a little girl who might be willing to pose for it. It just so happened that she did so she called the mother, explained who I was, etc and we scheduled a meeting at the mother-to-be's home. Within an hour of meeting them they had changed into PJ's and were posing for what eventually became Listening In. It's nice to know, even with all the media generated hysteria today, how kind people can still be.
