"P" As Poseidon

“P” As Poseidon

He made the crown out of fish bones. This are sketches from poses he held  today for a costume figure session.

Both: 24”x 18” watercolor wash on cold press

The sketch appeared in the morning before working on a painting I’ll probably not finish.

Some days go like this.

Right One, Left One and More

Right One, Left One and More

She has been standing on the left for so long, since I posted her here back in July 2012. I moved her to my right, which as a lefty was much easier to draw.

This time I did a larger drawing too, considering the drawing for an upcoming show.

I’ve included the sketch of an option I was considering here too, to place the figures within a background, though probably not.

So the first drawing is the latest. The second was from last year. And of course the sketch is last, though drawn sometime between the top two.

And there is the previous post, “Two Plus One”, the most recent sketch, needing another hand.

Two Plus One

Two Plus One

Just a show

A circus act

The curious

An oddity

Unimagined moments

Now too common

As reduced and not

Try to get along

The balancing act

Won’t last

The differences

Too abundant

Will convert

The fragile balance

From tolerance

To fear

An opening

For hate

To flow

Instead

I was working on hands and figures again. Both the left and the right, made it to this same page.

But I need another hand now, maybe larger than the two I already have, for the One rejected, sized in between.

This is just one in a series of images I’ve been thinking about developing further to include with recent dinosaurs.
