Pasadena Adjacent said...: i appreciate how you chose soft grays as the line work in the last drawing. The green reminds me of after dinner mints.; March 1, 2012 11:09 PM

altadenahiker said...: It's always a treat when you post. And you got the lovely Cezanne stony-feel in the third. I'll have to find a better way to express this appreciation -- But it's something about how Cezanne could take something so temporal, a bowl of ripe fruit, for example -- and fix it in the mind with a sense of permanence.; March 4, 2012 7:03 PM

PA, very after-dinner-minty, though, at least on my computer, the drawing didn't photograph well.

Thanks, Laura.

Thanks, AH. The model is a joy to draw.; March 8, 2012 12:22 PM
