Waiting With "B"




Waiting With “B”
She was actually on a modeling stage this morning in this pose. I started thinking where I’d place her after the basic sketch was done. I was lost for a moment in the Islands off Solitude. They have started creeping into my thoughts again.

  1. I hope you mean Islands Of Solitudes I also miss them even more than she does Anthony I love what you draw, makes me yearn even if the length of my stay is but a minute

    1. No, it’s still Islands off Solitude. The islands located off shore near Solitude Bay.. The place of fiction, based on a bay and the islands in the world I retreated to throughout my youth and middle age.
      These drawings, I use often, as I miss them too.

  2. Even from this rear view, without seeing the expression on her face, I can tell she is waiting for you to place her on the Islands of Solitude.
    She is waiting to be brought fully to life in glorious colour...then she will again feel the gentle breeze and the sun on her face...:)

    1. She is waiting for sure. I didn’t go as far as to assume who she is waiting for. Hopefully the wait isn’t too long.

  3. These Islands need to be inhabited...just have some familiar things to visit when you get there again... :) ~ follow you and try to draw stuff - to develop the habit to practice every day...

    1. In my imagination there all I need is waiting.
      It is a good habit, to draw stuff each day, sort of like writing, a form of discovery.
