Sharing Loneliness With a Friend
If the story
they prepared her for
actually occurs,
her invisible friend
promises
to vanish
into thin air.
Sketched these two in a session
yesterday afternoon. The only model on the stage was “MU”. She posed in what
she calls her flapper dress, a costume she has posed in before, quite a while
ago.
She looked sort of lonely and
half the sheet of paper needed to be filled. So I added another face slightly
behind to keep “MU” company.
14”x 17” ink and watercolor
I LOVE LOVE LOVE her flapper dress!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you added the second face...being let down when she has made such an effort to dress up must have been devastating. A friend is always desperately needed at such times...especially one who understands when to exit unobtrusively.
A great story in the making here, I reckon...;))
Thank you.
DeleteShe needed a story after the effort put in to put together the costume for the pose.
