On My Easel - Woman at Table WIP
From a drawing I did a few months ago, I worked on this one today. Lots of work to do, though, which I'll enjoy while I listen to a book by Charles Todd. one of the Inspector Rutledge mysteries, set after the First World War or Great War. Do other artists like to paint in silence? I did that for awhile today and it was really pleasant, but after a couple of hours decided I needed a change. Should have made all my changes and finishing up tomorrow, so will maybe post my final painting - thanks for stopping by!

Easy Listening - original pastel pencil portrait drawing
After a long day - nothing like some 'easy listening' music - at least that's what I hear. For me, though, it has to be something with a beat. Right now I'm listening to salsa music, mixed with a little jive - of course, I had a really good day with no problems, so maybe I wouldn't want the zippy stuff if I were really tired. This woman is being rejuvenated by the soothing music, which is perfect for both of us. She is very still and, therefore, a good model. She's happy - I'm happy.
This drawing is on 12 x 9" Colourfix paper - fresh grey color. The problem with drawings that aren't "finished" is where do I stop? I'm tempted to work on the chair, but won't because I think I've covered all the bases without doing that. And if I do "finish" it and then decide I shouldn't have done it, it's too late - can't be undone. Same with her other leg. Decisions, decisions. Thanks for looking!
