Ague

 There was a pre-enlightenment tradition of wearing three spiders around one's neck to cure one's self of the ague. I am making a painted illustration of this custom.
 Here I've been working on the foldy sheets. Something that's hard to stop once you get started. I'm pretty happy with the sheets under my patient, but the ones draped over the leg need work. I like knobby leg. It's got a lot of good reds and greens in it.
Did a little work on the face. Making it dark around the eye. Sticky hair clinging to the neck. No one likes that.
