About these:
It is such a beautiful day today and the trees outside the studio are so lovely, that the colors of the day and the shapes of the trees made their way into the first drawing. And the sun and blue sky made their way into the third drawing.
This terrific model also seemed to be enjoying the day. She kept a relaxed and happy expression for the entire time she was posing. (Not an easy thing to do.)
I especially like Smiling Face in Red. Such wonderful color, and what a good feeling it gives....
ReplyDeleteFor me too--though not red-faced, really. Thanks, WM.
ReplyDeleteOh darn. You guys are no doubt right, but I really liked the nymph, with the sprite in the background.
ReplyDeleteAH, thank you. I really like the nymph, too. (Actually, I like all of these: part of creation, the honeymoon phase.)
ReplyDeleteI've been missing a few posts again. Been busy putting together a grant through Cultural Affairs. Could anything be more of a headache?
ReplyDeletethe top one. looks like her missing face appears in red
took me awhile but I see the gestural drawings in the background
I'm just glad you've got stuff in the works. Yeah, there's a lot more in the background to see when you look hard.
ReplyDeleteWeird about the same pose/shift in color/size/material huh?
I like the nymph, tho' she looks pretty adult and dignified for that label.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Banjo. You're right, of course, but I tend to think of all of these models as babies.
ReplyDeleteas babies. That's REALLY interesting. I've heard writers refer to their words or entire works as their children.
ReplyDeleteOf course, that too. The works are children.
