Trip to Oshkosh - sketches
















I have been in the U.S. for a couple of weeks, and most recently visiting family in Oshkosh WI. I am very fortunate to find so many willing victims to sit for quick sketches/portraits. Here are all of the portraits, in no particular order. One of the images is a copy of a sketch by Leonardo da Vinci. The rest are done from sittings. Which is your favorite?

Erik,

These are fabulous. I'm guessing that number 4 from the bottom, if the bottom is number 1, is the Leonardo sketch. But it's not my favorite. The 9th sketch from the top is my favorite. Is it your dad? Excellent stuff, sir.

Mark,

Oops, I forgot to post the drawing of the Leonardo da Vinci sketch. The images shown here are all from live models. The fourth image from the bottom, if the bottom is no. 1., is of my nephew Leo and my cousin Molly and is my favorite. The 9th sketch from the top is my dad. Thanks for the comments, sir!

vHi Erik, from Cannes: I like nr 4 and 9 a little Klimt and Schiele in it. Still working on the blog. Gives you the discipline to express yourself. Drawing at the beach mainly but I'll start painting next week again. This week busy at a Raku workshop. Kind regards, Else
