not one, not two, but three . . .
So, I'm rooting around in the weathered old rust bucket (my brain) for my 'spring concentration' where for - oh I don't know - a month - I concentrate - on a particular subject or theme or whatever - in order to improve in that area. In the drawing above I thought about doing a mixture of charcoal and watercolor paintings.
Before I contemplated the mixture I thought that I would just practice charcoal scenes. This is the first time I think I have drawn birds. Why are they hovering? Are they friendly birds? I don't know. When I was looking at birds I saw this one by the 'Great Artist'. I thought that this bird is just sooooo cute!

Finally, I thought about doing drawings of the Great Masters. This is my version of Rembrandt where I placed a flower in her hair as you can see (and that weird looking couch). I'm not totally happy with mine. I would like to really capture his drawing.

One way that I think that I can do this is by tracing the drawing on the screen and then immediately drawing it myself on the paper. Not an exact copy - but my own version with a better understanding of his drawing.

i adore what you have captured in the very first painting! every bit!
My goodness Myra, you have been busy.
I think your version of the sleeping girl on the sofa arm looks happier than Rembrandt's.
And the charcoal/watercolor combination... cool!
Some lovely drawing here Myra...the first one is so sweet. There is something about art with animals or birds that I am just loving right now. You draw so well. I just love your drawings. The edge of the couch reminds me of patterns in some Klimt pieces.
I need to go now. My dog is chewing on a tuna can. That can't be very good for him.
I need your energy and talent, I think your idea sounds good, love the drawings, anything you do will be great
You are amazing, working so regularly at improving your skills. I love all the different things you think up to add to your ladies, like bows and flowers and what not.
Beautiful and imaginative!
