  1. Bonjour cher Anthony,

    Je pense que votre héroïne est prête à danser une fois qu'elle aura trinqué ! J'aperçois la bouteille et le verre !
    Et ces deux visages qui se profilent à l'arrière plan font-ils partie de ses pensées ?...
    Un très joli dessin.
    Gros bisous

    1. If only the pose had last longer then ten minutes, I might have had the time to draw the waiter pouring her a drink.. or maybe a handsome young man offering to dance with her☺
      Thank you

  3. In this case, your title adds a whole new meaning. You must put a lot of thought into the title of your paintings. It can direct the viewer to see what you saw. I like it.

    1. The title came as I watched her settle into the pose.
      Thank you

  4. After the preparation, will we see her dance?
    This beautiful sketch leaves me full of anticipation!

    1. Actually the dancing took place in the warm up two minute gesture poses. This pose of ten minutes followed. She settled into longer, more contemplative poses, as the morning progressed.
      Thank you

  5. Anything that "MA" does, she will do with style and grace...she is just this kind of lady.

    I love when you sketch "MA"...you always give her the dignity that she deserves.

    Wonderful sketch, Anthony~~~

    1. She does have style and grace, always has☺ I’ve seen other artists drawings of her in her younger years, still just as beautiful.
      I will be including another of her from the same session in today’s post.
      Thank you

  6. Such a lovely drawing. Looks like terrific model, too, though hard to tell without being there.
