It's Getting a Little Blurry....

While I was browsing through blogland a couple of days ago, I came across a link to some amazing paintings. I apologize for not remembering where I saw this but at the time I was a bit fuzzy-headed! You see I had to get up at 3:30 AM yesterday....long story, don't ask!! So I was browsing the blogs because once I'm awake I can't go back to bed. These paintings are just gorgeous so please go here and have a look.

And I also forgot to post my drawing for yesterday so here it is:



Gypsy fortune tellers, even the weird mechanical ones at fairs, have always fascinated me. I love the romantic idea of gypsies. They always seem so mystical and exotic. And I picture them gazing into a crystal ball saying "It's getting a little blurry" while holding out their hand for more cash! My fortune teller is a novice so she has those swirly antenna to help her tap into the Universe!! Hey, I had to have swirls someplace!!

********************************************
I'll tell you more about the book idea as I figure out all the details.

  3. Love your drawing. It reminded me of one of my grandma dressed as a fortune teller for Halloween. It was taken in the 40's and I just love it!

  5. I love all your ladies with their lovely gowns - they would make great birthday cards. Like the book idea too.
    True Romany gypsy women are fascinating people with a great deal of knowledge especially about herbs.

  7. She reminds me of the song "Gypsy Woman". I like the swirls.
    Those mechanical fortune tellers I used to see on the boardwalk scared me when I was a kid. Your novice looks much friendlier.

  8. I love your drawings and you know I have a thing for gypsies and fortune tellers. (oh and swirls) so it appeals to me on all levels!

    I MUST start doing this...at least draw something every day. My muse has been asleep!
