I think Himes is one of the better sketches. 
And turner is not bad.
One dem one republican. Keeping the news fair and balanced!!
Just baked a coconut cake and a coconut pie. And started the refrigerator yeast rolls. Two pumpkin one pecan pie and a couple dozen deviled eggs plus dressing and frosting still to go.
Hugs. Off to the botanical gardens momentarily to see the fabulous Christmas lights. Hope I don’t run out of energy.
Thanksgiving is coming.
Margaret Xoxoxox who did draw a bit too.

“With very little money the Russians have disrupted the greatest democracy in history.”
Dr Fiona Hill Russian and Ukrainian specialist on the National Security Council.
Everybody I know wants to vote for her for president. Too bad she’s an immigrant from Yorkshire England.
I do wish I had not made her hair too long. Perhaps it’s fixable?!! 
“He was interested in the big stuff.” David Holmes foreign service at our embassy in Ukraine.
Stillman and Birn Alpha watercolor pencils and inktense pencils

Finally upgraded for more storage. Been driving me crazy since July so for my birthday I but the bullet. 
One reluctant hero 
and one who was much more interested in truth telling.
These are about 6×8″ in a Stillman and Birn Alpha because it lies flat when it’s open. . Thinking about prints or a book. So far I have drawn 29 of these and only six left to do. Why you ask. Because I don’t ever want to forget.
Watercolor and inktense pencils.
In the process I have found more artists like me that draw the hearings. This is my fifth hearing- drew the Comey, Sessions, Cohen and Kavanaugh hearings. Making a record for the future. What makes them good models is their tendency to look in the same seats and look in the same direction for a good bit of time helping facilitate the drawing. Try it. You might enjoy it.
Ok the other sketch artists on twitter :
R my friend and compatriot Ruth with whom I have drawn many times – Britpeach on Instagram
Xander Berkeley on Twitter and actor and an artist. He was actually in the Walking Dead and Longmire. Going to have to check him out on Netflix’s.
And Dave Choate also on Twitter.
I even was messaged by a woman whose mother drew the Watergate Hearings.
Margaret off to another birthday dinner with family. Hugs xoxoxox
And two to go. 
Lt Col Vindman son of a Jewish Russian immigrant who left the USSR because of Jewish persecution by the Communists.
According to Vindman he speaks three languages Russian Ukrainian and a little bit of English!! 🤣 The Ukrainian was authority on the National Security Council.
Williams a career state department employee assigned to Pence as his Ukrainian authority.
Have not drawn the other two witnesses today due to going to see Harriet. Super movie. Go see it.
Margaret off to book club. Xoxoxo
Or the compost heap I think. The problems are endless although there are bits I like. I suppose I could fix her but I don’t care enough to do that either.
This is what it should have looked like. Instead of tired and overworked which I knew it was even as I painted.
Margaret back to her binge watch. Xoxoxox
Well Kinda sorta. 
45 min sketch of Macy 15×22″ cold press fluid paper looking like an outtake from an Egon Schiele nude exhibit. His nudes were always stick thin with long bodies.
Is she finished??! No!!! She was 45 min late and I had to get back to Augusta for a hair cut. One MUST not miss your hair appointments ever!!
Hopefully I will get around to finishing her tomorrow in between drawing the eight talking heads testifying this week. 😳😳😳
Margaret trying to resist the urge to binge the crown and then there’s also Night manager by John LeCarre that I finally found on amazon. Ps. I did see the Good Liar with Helen Mirren and Ian McKellan. Hard to go wrong with that combo. Interesting and a twist. Love a twist. Xoxoxox
Ms Val Demings – Fl I think. Such a gorgeous lady.
Ms Jackie Speiers Ca I might need another go round with Ms Jackie. Her face is too wide. It’s really longer and narrower but still a fun sketch.
Ms. Stefanik – NY – I did these ladies because they seem to consistently question the witnesses. There are a few more but at five minutes each tough to catch them. Maybe Monday or Wed or?!
Incidentally the sketch the hearings group is growing. A friend in Aiken has decided to give it a try too. Not seen hers yet but she’s a great painter. Join the fun. Maybe we need a Facebook group?!
Margaret tired after a very busy day watching old old episodes of MASH still just as funny as they ever were. Xoxoxox
Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch wow what a woman!!
I call it a party because my friend Ruth and I discuss our drawings via txt and talk about what’s going on. Always amazing how easy some people are to draw and others forget it.
Beginnings derwent watercolor and inktense pencils. Stillman and birn Alpha.
Adding more layers. Then I dab at it with a wet sable brush. And 8 I think. And if it goes to dark or threatens to run I dab at it with a Kleenex to lift color. Watercolor pencils can get oh so dark in seconds and some colors seem to run like crazy.
Hmm try number two at Adam Schiff head of the Intelligence Committee. Love the sketch but it’s not quite Adam. So will give him another try.
Devin Nunez the opposition. A Better sketch than Schiffs but not as good as the Yovanovitch sketch.
Bytw people are asking me for a book. Who knows. Maybe?! Going to try to draw all the talking heads and the major witnesses.
Oh yeah there are six more of these so far.
If u like this kind of stuff check out parispsalters feed on Instagram. A hoot.

Was a naughty girl and had to stay after school. 
Couldn’t be me could it?!
The very bad sketch. What’s with the hands and that shoe??!
At the end of the portrait session. Was thinking about future mulch pile for her but after looking at her a while and talking to Ruth abt her after I got home I realized some of the problems Ruth was having at life modeling where causing my problems.
Tomorrow I will lift some highlights out and work on her braids some more.
Tape and Mr Clean are my friends once Naomi is dry.
Margaret off to bed soon. Gotta draw some talking heads manana.
