Drawing from the sketch book.....

Here are some drawings I did in London when I found myself without clay.....




These two are from the Picasso exhibit.
The left is Girl in a Chemise
The right is Ferndrid? in a Black Mantilla. ( sorry I can't read my writing about who this sweet lady is. I will look it up later.)








This was a portrait of Olga as a Giantess/ Roman Goddess.
Seated woman 1920
















A painting by Bellini
Madonna and Child

















On the airplane home I did my own version of Hans Holbein the Younger's
A Lady with a Squirrel and a Starling




















And I also did a preliminary sketch for a series of paintings I am thinking of about animals that are going extinct or already are extinct.
This little fellow is the dusky seaside sparrow. The image came from my National Geographic via Florida Natural History Museum, Florida State University.
I see him in his natural colors with a red/ gold back ground.
