Island Royalty




Island Royalty
Islands off Solitude
Maybe there are just moments, thoughts of more than escape, of being queens. Can the islands have more then one?
I find myself continuing to sketch in this tone grey sketch pad.
Of course I find myself off in the islands off solitude a lot lately too.

  1. Gosh...yes...there certainly is a regal air about these two!
    The one on the right appears to slightly defer to the one on the left, so I guess the latter must be the ultimate queen of the Islands! Haha :D
    This is fabulous...they convey such personality!

    1. They both looking pretty comfortable as royalty. Actually both images are of the same model, in the same pose, from different vantage points.
      I agree though, the one most aspiring to be queen was the one looking directly at me as I sketched her.
      Thank you

  2. I adore this ...the process is yours only I've never seen anyone use this process and I love it so much and yes the question is valid if you're two too, whose the Queen?
    ps ok granted I don't visit anyone else but still to me this is you, always you're way of sketching and giving so many interpretation but this is only pretty clear, who's the Queen....if their names are Valerie (my favourite name in the whole world) and Elizabeth ( another favourite) Elizabeth carries a lot of clout , So I'm voting for Valerie Queen of the Solitary Island of two.

    1. Thank you
      I am enjoying these a lot. They have the appearance of old etchings to me, without as much work..
      I hope Queen Valerie has a long and stress free rein. I hope Elizabeth doesn’t mind not being in charge.
