"J" With Staff




“J” With Staff
I was at a life drawing session “J” posed for today. The drawing here is from her longest pose. I think her hair was shorter than usual.
We found a staff for her to hold. She usually poses with a sword.
18”x 24” pastel pencils on colored charcoal paper.

  1. I can imagine her posing with a sword...in her, I see a Celtic Warrior (most were female, believe it or not!), all she needs is a shield!
    Fabulous, as ever, Anthony:)

    1. There are previous posts with her sword. She poses often as Joan of Arc. I can see her as a Celtic Warrior too.. I do like history..
      Thank you

  2. first thought Joan of Arc, History has always been my favourite thing, I graduate with Honours in History (ok high school but still)...and Amazons used to live degrading men making them the lower form of being....History always reverse tides..If you believe that a soul can't die as I do, I highly recommend Daniel Meurois' Book or Daniel Meurois Givaudan, all of his books have been translated into English and many many languages...If you believe, it'll blow your mind, and open it wide

    1. She acts out as Joan of Arc often when she poses. I’m not sure where Amazons fit the story though?
      I’d have trouble seeing “J” as and Amazon in either case. She is fairly small and petite, which is hard to show, when she poses alone.
      I will look the author you mentioned up.
      Thank you
