A Few More of "MA"








A Few More of “MA”
These are some sketches from over a month ago, when “MA” posed for the drawing I did of her titled “ Still the Queen”. They were all from fairly short poses, especially the gestures in the middle.
I was going to just file them away, but they have sort of grown on me, especially the first, with “MA” sitting with her back to me.
All three: 24”x 18” sanguine on paper

      She has been modeling most of her life. She still has it. A few of the older artists I have had classes with in the area have beautiful drawings and paintings of her when she was much young.

  2. These are great - each one is stunning on its own, but the middle one, ahhh - such excitement!

      The gestures are the most fun, I agree..

  3. Still the queen. That's awesome. I like the first pose too. She looks solid. It is somehow comforting.

  4. I love these!
    The first is Motherly and comforting.
    The second, yes...so exciting, such fun - like a party in full swing.
    The last puts me in mind of the end of the day, and time to relax. This is my personal favourite...so calming...and so to sleep...:)

      Your comments almost express what takes place in a typical session with her, except the second, the gestures occur first, than motherly, followed by a short rest. And finally she’ll provide the long pose becoming the queen.
