I spent the afternoon curled up in a chair keeping warm and sketching. Here are the results. One of the 4 heads in the composite drawing is Lionel Barrymore. I only remember him in the movies as an old man. This was from a photo taken in 1918. He was very handsome! His brother, John, was the big heart throb back in the day, but I think I am falling for Lionel. What a surprise!
Your talanted work is so very well done and I always check it out.
ReplyDeleteAh, and here I thought this was your Grumpy Old Men series :) Very nicely done, as always.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Lionel was an interesting character. I always look for the Barrymore traits in Drew Barrymore. Last night I saw a 1921 movie with Louie Calhern. Now that was a shock, with him as a young man! But, since I knew who it was, I looked for his characteristics and he was recognizable. I never would have guessed, though.
ReplyDeleteUmmmm. I love your lines.
ReplyDeleteI love the composition of this page - great drawings!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely! I need to look around a bit more me thinks.
ReplyDeleteNice drawings!! I can't stop looking at the top one (yes, with envy).
ReplyDeleteI admit I've no clue who Lionel is, but the mustached guy in the composite drawing makes me think of Don Quixote. It also reminds me how desperately I need to work on noses...
