I don't care how good looking she is, she better not be scratching the paintwork with that heel.

There could be hell to pay.

If some babr is bent over the hood of my car, I better be pulling her hair.

I think the entire front end better be covered with PPF.

One of my bandmates has a Cars tribute band and got the Candy-O model to come sign autographs at a recent gig. I'm just gonna say she doesn't look quite the same anymore.

Right, I've seen pictures and she looks like a male. For shame.

Neither do any of us.

It's only a 365 GTC4. Nobody would care.

Hang on there a second, JC: I look almost exactly as I looked yesterday

In my mind, beauty (I know I have posted before): Fatima, from Spain, our Au Pair on the left, and Mrs. Seahawk on the right. We are going on 34 years.

Fatima Blush?

Fatima was the coolest. Her father was an architect and her mother was an author.

Fatima has three kids of her own, all over 20!...and has been back to see us three times. She was what I hoped my daughter would become.

Then it happened.

The model for the Michael Bryan drawing (Teri) pictured on her 52nd birthday. Three months later, on the night before Mother's Day, she passed.





When we remember our passed loves, they live in our hearts forever.

Henry, she was a Beautiful Lady and I am sorry for your loss.

Just a bit of mansplaining on the impressive and beautiful drawing of Henry's wife. You won't often get to see drawings like this. When one is taking art classes, during early portions of drawing instruction, you are encouraged to work toward capturing your subject with quick, free applications of media... chalk, charcoal, pastel, etc.

The reason for this is that it teaches you to observe the subject and train your eye to move back and forth between your subject and the drawing in an almost machine-like process... but if followed, it trains you to not just look at the drawing because that's when you lose out and stop putting quick thought into what your hand should be doing to capture what you see (like in the drawing above).

It is sometimes called a "study" and is used as preparation for a more detailed drawing or painting.

Here is a quickly done drawing as an example how a drawing like that comes together. Some of it is sped-up, but that's to keep things moving for the viewer... the artist isn't working from a subject, however. Years of experience have allowed him to work as if he is.

Another example of Michael Bryan's drawing style. Also hanging in my house. Different model of course. The "canvas" is hand-made paper.

I really like that one Henry! Thanks!

Here's Michael's vision of Marylin.

I would be very surprised if that charcoal Last Supper drawing (#5395) was executed totally without some kind of model.

My problem with drawing is that I can’t seem to break away from what my eyes see and put down what my mind sees. Plus, I am totally humbled by any kind of figure drawing in the first place. I’m more of an illustrator than artist. That’s why I end up in the yard pulling weeds in frustration when I try.

Henry those are fantastic! That fellow surely is gifted at bringing the essence of his subject to the paper without excess detail. Somehow celebrating the sexuality of the female body without being crude or pornographic. I am a fan.
