An exquisite mystery
That’s what I am
You may know my land
You may know my history
But you will never understand
The woman that I am...

Great idea to use music sheet as a ground. Lovely drawing too. Perfect title.
Awesome post and a beautiful work of art Bertie.
Something a bit different than what I have seen before...and I like! I think it really shows off your talent and versatility.
I really, really, like this drawing/painting. Wow!! It, along with your poem, really has a lot to say.
This is stunning, Bertie! I love the background music. When I gesso over things, it comes out quite opaque. How did you keep it so you could see through it?
Though I love and admire your brightly-colored florals, Bertie, this monochromatic figure study is impressive for its subtleties. You certainly have a lot of versatility!
Thanks....she was just a wonderful model...a rare find.
Autumn, I thinned the gesso with water and added some raw sienna to the mix to keep some of that great manuscript color..I also took the pencil over some notes to bring them 'back'....
