I knew a Woman, lovely in her Bones,
When small birds sighed, she would sigh back at them;
Of her choice virtues only gods should speak.
(taken in part from the verses of Theodore Roethke)
This was painted in my Art Book with Acrylics. It was originally drawn by Leondardo da Vinci which is in The Art of Florentine Drawings book. Using it as a base idea and then adding my own interpretation.
Again turned it into a street painting.............
This illustration was originally from the book, Fashion Illustration. Painted in Acrylics on a Canvas Pad.

The lady's expression on the left amuses me as she allows this woman to smell her flower........
Yep again I had some fun...............
