On Love

.
Love is not affectionate feeling,

But a steady wish for

The loved person's ultimate good,

As far as it can be obtained.

Another Drawing

I couldn't think of a title for this, hence it's name. This needs a little more work, but I'm tired of it and need to move on. It was really an exercise to get more familliar with colored pencils.

The fellow sitting was in a wheel chair and visiting the older gentleman.  They looked as though they were going on an outing. Once again, it's better in the real.

Regrets

Another stranger. He looks like he might have just been dumped by a girl friend.

Mandy

Susan and I met her in a London pub near the Globe theater while she was waiting for the next performance to start. I took her photo thinking she didn't notice but obviously did. I asked if I could get her to pose with a stare out the window but all were stiff and unnatural looking. I based my Improvisational drawing on one of those poses. We conversed a while and found out she worked as an engineer in the US and designed parts for atomic bombs. Smart gal.

Skeletons

If you can't get rid of the family skeleton

You might as well make it dance.

George Bernard Shaw

Cactus Flower

These bloom once a year for a couple of days and are gone.

A Mom

Lime Lady again in color. I saw her on a bench and asked if I could take her photo. What you see is what I got. The interchange only lasted a few seconds. I should have stayed a while and chatted. The baby must be a toddler by now. This was two years ago. The prior sketch took about five minutes. This is closer to how she looked.
