Odalisque

I used to call my life drawings "boudoir haiku" because they were usually very simple line drawings with light watercolour washes. But mixing white into the colours has enriched my palate so I am calling the current series of sketches "odalisques", in reference to the 19th century school of painting Orientalism.

The Monday night drawing group will be having our annual show on Friday, May 27th. If you are in vicinity, please mark that date into your calendar. So far it has always fallen on a beautiful early summer evening and turned into something of a party.
