Depths Of A Woman

Blue
Not sad, but deep
Portrayed flesh amidst a sea of blue
Wide-eyed beauty
Lips aglazed
I splendor at the sight of your face
I see all women in you
Whether young or old, the look is true
The magic comes through to light all within
Never to doubt the existence of love again
Wake me with your gaze, 'til I open wide
Touching the depths that resonate the beauty of being

Painting and drawing for today Mozart, Beethoven Sold

Still working larger than usual. Beethoven is 32 x 40.

Mozart is 48 x 48. 2 different techniques.

Beethoven was an exercise in speed. I think it took me about 20 min.

I am going to continue working with this image until I get it down to 6:30 min.

Drawing for Today

I decided to do something bigger so I revisited some composers I did a long time ago.

and one of winged victory.
