She Was Blue Velvet

She Was Blue Velvet,  8" x 11" charcoal and watercolor on paper

No, she didn't wear it. She WAS it.

Reflected Light! You know that is what is making these so good! This one is really nice. I just looked back at all of them. I am also glad that they are not too small. Maybe 24"X48" is in the future?...but then you may have to move to a bigger apartment LOL!

Thanks so much, Dan. It's interesting that you should comment on the reflected light, because I'm working from a stash of old black/white vintage photos as a starting point. The color is all coming from my imagination but I guess I'm definitely bringing these old gals to life.

I've got some huge watercolor sheets in my studio, but am quite timid about giving them a shot. New Year's resolution: work bigger!
