Fell in love with these when I went to the Columbia Museum of Art last time. Today I returned to draw some of the statues and have one last look at the Pollock. It was 8×20’😳. 
Sadly it was gone but these cuties were still there part of the permanent collection right next to a gorgeous Botticelli. Do you think they would notice if I borrowed one for a while??! Too bad an art museum doesn’t lend art to their visitors like a library lends books. 
While I am not a big fan of Renaissance art it’s hard not to appreciate this gorgeous painting which is about 4×5′ or so right next to the Lokapala.
I don’t know why but I just find these two guys charming. I am sure they were not meant to be charming but scary.
Bytw I drew two more figures before these. It was the fourth figure on the right before I started drawing well. I have a sketchbook full of Buddhas and saints now and a couple of Soda City street drawings. Now to get them painted.
I have to say the Columbia Art Museum was a lovely cool respite from the muggy 100 degree day outside at Soda City. You could have told me the queen of England was outside and I would not have left the cool museum.
Bytw the museum is only $5 on Saturday while Soda City is open (9-1pm).
Margaret ready for her cool comfy bed. Xoxoxoxo
Decided to add this lady to my sketchbook as a memory page. 
She meets me at the back sliding door and peers thru the glass this way and that as if to say are you there. Where’s my breakfast??? It’s very funny.
Hahnemuhle Journal twisbee pen Charles Reid palette colors and Vlads neutral tint which is dioxzine purple indigo and burnt sienna.
Advantage of using his neutral tint or making your own is that you can shift it to blue purple or brown maki g it a flexible grey that Vlad never paints without it on his palette.
Miss squirrel earlier added some ground under her feet with the neutral tint so the nice highlights on them would show. And splattered it a bit with the neutral tint.
wouldn’t let me upload these pics yesterday. 😵😵😵
Seems I have run out of storage on WordPress. I either have to Del a lot of old photos which is oh so difficult to do or pay $200 more a year for unlimited storage. Groan.
wouldn’t let me upload this one either so added it today.
So while I am deciding I Del a lot of my friends nudes and I bet the pages look like Swiss cheese. Sorry friends and dear readers. I still love you.
Here’s the final painting again. Do wish I had left the metal strip on the side.
That freed up a little space.
wondering why I didn’t do this one but I think I will maybe on the opposite page.
Oh. Went to see Anne Hathaway’s new movie The Hustle. Funny well only occasionally. Best part was the French Riviera scenery the French music and Anne’s fabulous clothes.
Skip it and go see Poms. Much funnier.
Margaret In p189 of Redemption. Only 200+ pages to go.

Twisbee pen Dartrementis document brown Ink hahnemuhle journal. Not liking the paper a lot. Charles Reid palette colors.
Margaret Xoxoxox who has one more Baldacci book to read before her Amos Decker binge is done. Xoxoxo
Finally painted this. The hahnemuhle paper was a trial. Couldn’t lift any of the alizarin which is a staining color. I should have fished out my other pink for a change of color. Oh well. It’s just in the sketchbook.
Earlier. Mike reminded me to loose some edges Which I did try to do. Not easy on the hahnemuhle paper.
I think that’s why I need a Charles Reid class every year. A refresher class. Lol.
Guess this year will have to make do with the video since he’s only teaching three times a year now. 😢
The sketch.
Maybe a do over in real watercolor paper. What do you think??!

Maybe I need to try it again on my HP arches. What do you think?!!
