Another sketch idea for a painting of Elli. I love this pose. She looks like a lady waiting for her lover, gazing out of the window and wondering when he’ll come to her. Very romantic, very Shakespearean. Romeo, Romeo wherefore art though Romeo etc…
Of course if she were a queen in heat she’d be an awful lot louder than Juliette! :-) And Romeo’s serenading would be fairly spectacular too. :-)
I loved doing her whiskers, all different colours with my old ink brush.
All it needs is the sound of her singing to her lover. :-)
