...and Laurelines on pencil.
Last night, I needed a lift of spirits so my husband took me to Spice Street, one of our favorite restaurants. Lucky for us, there was a wonderful musician playing on the terrace, so we sat near him and I drew while Glen Ingram played 'Stardust'. I was so happy to be drawing that I forgot to eat!
Please ignore the bad posture in my self portrait from yesterday. Concentration will do that to a person.
That's funny, Laura. I know it's how I fancy myself, but hardly how I am. I have written murder mysteries though - so you are sensitive to the inner me ;)

Thanks so much, wonderful people! Robyn, I love your idea of me and it makes me laugh, too---the way we experience people in cyberspace and through their art is so interesting, don't you find? i've got you pegged for a Nora type, of the old Nick and Nora movies---glamorous in a sassy way, you know the type ;D.

I love your look of concentration - your self-portrait reminds me of a WWII resistance heroine for some reason - I think it is the beautiful, ladylike exterior and the sense of an inner courage and resourcefulness behind the mask. I'm nuts, I know! Great sketches of Mr Ingram too.

Weather report: more dratted snow.
Now that that's out of the way: I like these--how lovely that Glen Ingram saw them, too. You have a wonderful quality of being very, very attentive and lost-in-seeing simultaneously in that self-portrait.
Wish I had been there. I like Spice Street.
Good cheer to you, Laura--
