Drawing #12

Elizabeth in her Choir Robe, pencil on colored bond, 7" x 11"

This fast portrait of a choir friend was actually done a couple of weeks ago; we were sitting in the organ loft, separated by the organ itself, listening to the sermon (that's a cord for her glasses you can see in the picture, not headphones!) Elizabeth, who is an Anglican priest as well as a choir singer, had her eyes shut and was sitting very quietly, so she was a tempting subject. I drew this on the back of the music schedule that I had in my folder, where I also always have a pencil  for marking my music. It's not a perfect likeless, but pretty close, and it gives you some idea about the voluminous robes we wear, which are becoming very hot these days!

I've been wanting to post this but kept forgetting to bring it home until last night. (This is a substitute for yesterday's actual drawing, which started out well but met with disaster!)
