Sarah Tonight




Didn't matter that Sarah had a headache, she still was gorgeous. I was holding my pencil case before I left this evening and yet, it stayed home and I went out! I was offered other's pencils, but thought I might be overdue to work in ink. (Like an octopus in camouflage.) So ending at the beginning, I did gesture poses in sharpie marker. And then a half hour pose in pastels, (they arrived intact with me) before the final hour in blue pastels. I was able to play Billie Holiday and much of Louis Armstrong before my music boycotted and Van Morrison took over. He was good but I was hoping for a King Cole Trio finale. So much life, so little time. Some very good people were there.

Your work seems to be flowing and I love how it is evolving. You worked magic with the sharpies, such wonderful delicate lines and then the pastel images have such a luminous quality to them. Are these oil pastels? They glisten. That third image I adore. Can't say anymore but takes my breath away!!!
