The painters are coming in November to paint the woodwork upstairs…which means I have to move the flat-file. Oh “ye gods” as my Mama used to say. It’s a mess back there…
Some paintings on paper, some just plain blank paper, but MOSTLY…drawings. And most of them are life-drawings. I was thinking of going to a life class again, but maybe I have enough…really though it starts with a few from high school…1958…
a self portrait from that time…maybe about 1962…
but LOTS from the 1970’s. I had a drawing show in 1976 at Willamette, and just kept on going…starting with my family…
…my friends
…my friends who were also models, like the amazing Audra who I drew over and over again…she of the many “costumes”…
and Sandy, a beautiful young woman who I LOVED making into a hag…
Joann…
and then the models…
…some of the London drawings…
“Time passeth away like a shadow…”
On The Way 
I really like the tea cup and kettle sketch! Has rustic appeal .
Wow….that is all there is to say. What a terrific way to wake up in the a.m.. You’ve surely alive with talent. Thank you so much for the review of your sketches! Hope all is well, maybe coffee next week. M.

you charm my day with your sensibilities! amazing emphasis and great form! thank you Bonnie!
Wow, Bonnie. Amazing! I hope these were all “keepers”!
some amazing views and beautiful marks put down on paper!
Beautiful treasures! Nice to see the time machine of drawings. I love to see your drawings evolve. What will you do with them all?
Ye gods, girl, these are spectacular, beautiful, great, stunning why not a show at the Hallie Ford and a monograph by Roger? Norma
you have a lovely hand and eye, bonnie. and you bring surprising tidbits peripheral to the focal point to life…a bit of fabric fully rendered between a model’s legs, a patterned scarf draped over shoulders, a picture propped on a chair. impossible to choose favs, but i love #10 the baby with the big yawn or cry mouth, #34 the ashcan with its rich shadow, #38 the enigmatic scene with two women, rich in possible interpretations, #50 the london door with reflections all rendered with graceful, effortless strokes, and finally #56 the clock with its reflection of your hand at work. san
All very cool especially tea time!
