the girl with the butterfly bow . . .

Actually it's been a rough week.  Harvey has been out of town visiting his mother . . . and eating barbeque and visiting his mother and eating shrimp and . . . well you get the picture.  Tiny and I coped the best way we could - I had plenty of chocolate cake - and he had plenty of chicken.  Harvey will be back tomorrow!  If you recall,  this is my 'bow-cation' - my summer of drawing and painting bows - so I kept myself plenty busy.  Since I seem to be committed to bows I needed a new idea . . . 'ahhhhh' I said.  No more like 'ahhhhhhhhhh - a girl with a butterfly bow!'

'red chair in a blue room' by myra anderson

Yes I'm on a 'chair-cation' but am I also on a 'bow-cation'?  In this sketch I wanted to accomplish two things . . . a.  I wanted to draw from the chin down and two I wanted to see if I could make the top part of the dress look a little like satin (too lazy to do the whole dress at this time).  Done and done.  Speaking of chairs I am currently working on 'another blue chair in a green room'.  I have been thinking about a philosophical viewpoint for 'a blue chair in a green room'.  Maybe Lisa can help me.  Look at her fabulous chair and the wonderful artistic viewpoint in this beautiful collage work.  And just so you know - somewhere inside of me there is also a red chair - in a blue room.

 I wanted to try something a little different with my sketches and I noticed that a lot of people like bows.  An elegant bow?  I just like to use that word elegant.
