A Surprise Visit by the Queen







A Surprise Visit by the Queen


“MA” replaced a scheduled model who had a last minute conflict.
A pleasant surprise.
“MA” is a favorite.
Here are some of the sketches from the session yesterday afternoon.
First three: 17”x 14” ballpoint pen
Last: 9”x 12” fountain pen, sanguine and chalk on toned paper

    1. Her gesture poses were so much more fun than the long pose at the end. She has been modeling for over fifty years. I’ve seen other artists paintings of her when she was younger. I see her the younger her in each of these, the real magic☺

  4. Oh I love how she gradually emerged from the original chaotic "crowd"...into this wonderfully evocative persona!
    She is, indeed, Regal in every sense of the word...I feel compelled to curtsy before her.
    Anthony...how brilliantly you've captured her very essence here.
    I am overawed...:)
