This Morning with "E"

This Morning with “E”

She posed in what she said is a Turkish folk costume this morning for the Independent Painters Group. She insisted on the standing three hour pose. So I placed others standing behind her so she wasn’t alone for so long.

The Mess, In Blue

The Mess, In Blue

The image

Blue lines

Cover innocence

The splendor

White paper

Before lines

Thinking Nature

Forest

Maybe a meadow

Before entitled

Caused the mess

Embellished in blue

I think of what is built as beautiful sometimes, worthy of a sketch, a drawing, a painting. The failing maybe, of an old architect. What a mess compared to what was here before.

Sketches of two of her poses from this morning.

Admittance

Admittance

Legend of an opening

It rarely appears

Hiding between islands

Which two never clear

Images filling voids

As they emerge

While satisfying obligations

In a less exciting world

I can tell they had found the entrance before, between the two islands.

I followed.

End of the Week With "P"

End of the Week With “P”

On Monday he posed as Dog Man.

Yesterday he was an archeologist for a second time.

Today he was as close as he can get to being himself.

This morning he posed for the drop in life drawing session I attend on Saturdays.
