Good luck with saving the rest of your drawings; that's obviously time well spent!meldonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17771826108251937110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13779951.post-1161436556722077912006-10-21T07:15:00.000-06:002006-10-21T07:15:00.000-06:00dk: The bottom drawing is one of "Joyce," a fellow...dk: The bottom drawing is one of "Joyce," a fellow art student doing work/study as a life drawing model and I don't think she would be pleased by your comparison of her to KH. (grin)<BR/><BR/>She was leaning on a stool (which is not proportioned as well as the model, yet leaving me to wonder if I might not have been better at drawing aurochs).<BR/><BR/>Of course, as we all know in retrospection, after Lascaux, art fell into decay until reaching its second zenith during the early Twentieth Century in--of all things--Dada!Dadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17257598218959429347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13779951.post-1161435584325886742006-10-21T06:59:00.000-06:002006-10-21T06:59:00.000-06:00az: I had it in my mind you were an artist.

Thanks for reaffirming. <BR/><BR/>Yes, my BFA was in painting with an art history minor. I wasn't any good at the three dimensional arts of metals, ceramics or sculpture. Perhaps that hints at why I'm so maladjusted here in a four (or more) dimensional Universe?<BR/><BR/>But maybe the art explains why I love to spend time in Taos a couple times each year. <BR/><BR/>And lucky you, selling so much of your work. Do you ever wish you had documented it better, so you woulnd't have to rely on fading memories? (j/k!) <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the kind words.Dadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17257598218959429347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13779951.post-1161381638768263002006-10-20T16:00:00.000-06:002006-10-20T16:00:00.000-06:00Well being non-artistic, I can only say the world ...Well being non-artistic, I can only say the world would be a much better place if the human artist ratio were vastly increased. Luckily places like taos exist to feed artistic yearnings. <BR/><BR/>Realizing that one measly semester of Intro Art History removes my credibility, I do feel your top drawing strongly captures a very tired dancer (that is a dark leotard she's wearing, right?). The bottom one is harder to figure out, possibly an equestrian? no, no! don't tell me Katherine Harris was an art class model then! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing these. Oh, you MUST preserve the remainder of your work before it crumbles to dust, dada! I even like the title (B-): intriguing, self-effacing with a little snark thrown in. <BR/><BR/>BTW, I took the Intro AH class believing the course description about reviewing the art of various cultures beginning with cave art. Was very disappointed when only a couple days were devoted to Lascaux (which IMHO has never been topped). I did find the pre-columbian NA & dark age european art quite revealing. After that, it was all studying for the exam, sad to say, bored student that I was. ~~ D.K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13779951.post-1161375573351384272006-10-20T14:19:00.000-06:002006-10-20T14:19:00.000-06:00smile - i knew we were kindred soulsin my past lif...smile - i knew we were kindred souls<BR/><BR/>in my past life - bf (before kids) i received my BFA and took numerous life drawing classes -- but unlike you, all of my drawings were sold to the nerdy engineers <BR/><BR/>so the only ones i have left are in my memories...smile<BR/><BR/>your work is great...thanks for sharingazgoddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15190285114417409204noreply@blogger.com
