Woman Drawings


There is in every true woman's heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.

Washington Irving

Mirabai
I drew Mirabai with her statue as a reference. Unfortunately, I didn't get the hands right :((

    Like the expression on the first drawing. Something about it gets me thinking as to what she is thinking.

    Thanks Adrian, Joop, Bob, Sprinkles, digital.., Xurde Radio, Ramakrishnan and Sandy. I am glad you enjoyed these.

    Happy holidays Sapphire!

    @Red, Dave - I was intrigued by her expression too.. :)

    Andy, I can't believe it that you found it was Julia :))) Although the pic is okay, it is a far cry from the reference I used.
