I’ve been struggling with my health and it’s been hard sitting through 3 hours of art class.
Our first assignment was to do a black and white of a plaster lady whose arm was cut off above her elbow. Ouch.
I missed the last class, deciding the fetal position I was in was more conducive to “licking my wounds” than doing it in public. Having no physical reference to finish the arm-less lady I explored the new medium of chalk pastel (new to me) and threw color around . . . and made things up . . .

I love the bues, it really makes this pop and seem more than a plaster bust. I’m sure she would appreciate the arm. 😊

Wendy,
Not only did she appreciate the arm but she appreciated it when I finally quit layering her with chalk!

Much better two armed I’d say. Must’ve had a lot of models in Greece and Roman who were missing bits of themselves.

I think both the greek and Roman models had parts roam’n . . . probably from too much libation . . .

Nice job, Judy! Interesting how she reminds me of my older sister. Unfortunately, I don’t have a younger sister….

I’m so pleased to see you restored her arm… no I would want to be immortalized with all limbs in tact! Nice work! The hair is particularly striking.

Charlie,
The hair is my favorite part too! The rest was a “smear job”.

What an interesting art medium! I don’t know if its plaster or chalk. Very pretty indeed.

Julie,
It was a plaster bust of a woman and I used chalk pastels to draw. I didn’t want to use oil paint which was the other choice because I didn’t want to clean up!
