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).

wouldn’t let me upload these pics yesterday. 😵😵😵
wouldn’t let me upload this one either so added it today.
Here’s the final painting again. Do wish I had left the metal strip on the side. 
wondering why I didn’t do this one but I think I will maybe on the opposite page. 
No it’s a thrasher. The Georgia state bird. Evidently kills smaller birds. Bad bird. Have a big one 11″ or very leggy at the back porch feeders. Never bothers anyone. Maybe mine is a lady thrasher. Lol
Sat down at the restaurant area and put my satchel purse up on the table to hide behind. Parking yourself somewhere with a good site line to streams of people is always a good idea when doing these. 
Pretty soon I had a whole strip done. I ended up at the Walmart grocery store because they always have a good flow of people going in and out.
This post was stuck in my scheduled posts box. I don’t know if I posted but it’s such a great post can’t hurt posting again.
Stating at the nose suddenly there’s a fabulous painting of a person.
One more of Jedi and his dad John.
Up to the rooftop the rain had ended.
Look who decided to jump in bed with me tonite. My friend Karen’s collie Carly. What a sweetheart.
Tomorrows model Carver whose mom looks like Madonna.
I used my Holbein Metal Palette with Charles Reid colors. Ordered a new one from amazon because this one is getting rusty and crusty. I lust for a Craig Young Palette at $480 🤪. When I am rich and famous right?!!
