A pose by any other name

A pose by any other name
Alas I missed the life drawing session last week. I left the house heading there but ran into a cloud of freezing mist which immediately plastered a layer ice on my windshield some 8 or 15 inches thick. As driving the Richardson Highway stone cold, very cold, blind seemed far less than ideal, I turned my rig around lowered the driver's window, sticking a white cane out feeling my way and drove, tapped, drove home.

As I was sorry and chagrined missing the creation of high art amidst the wild bohemian company i often sketch with, I dropped a tear in my beer and worked furiously through the evening producing this carefully conceived masterpiece: A Pose By Any Other Name!

Ink and watercolor on yellow ochre with well more than a hint of raw sienna colored sketch paper, eight and thirty one sixty fourths by ten and thirty one thirty seconds inches.

Steve Bucknell, Fred Fouarge have particularly liked this photo

It looks like a German Expressionist masterpiece to me. In what dread corner of your subconscious is this tormented soul trapped, Jim?
