Marked Women
We had a 3 hour Draw-A-Thon which was great. The female model was fantastic; amazing poses and great to draw. They are working on the art building and every room has air conditioning except, you guessed it, the Art Fellows room. Hopefully it will be fixed by tomorrow since it is suppose to be hotter than today. I have still been working. I added a lot of imagery and yes, the Madonna now has a face.It is really hard to see but there is a copper wire mesh face over the geisha. Eve is in the corner with a snake winding around her, a pagen goddess is falling out of the Madonna, and shiva is dancing on the pillow. There is an open area to the left of the Madonna. Should I add more?

looks like catholic guilt, like madona and the additional detail, like 1800s bloomers- where's the top? not sure what the breast has to do with ballet, but does it have to make sense to anyone but you? Know noble ballet started with bottomless or nude dancers to entertain royalty, and see dancer in lower left. Origional madona had no issues with letting it all hang out, Still don't see whore unless your saying the catholic church-Don't see conflict if you say she would rather have been a dancer- ballet has no conflict with whore unless you ask a ballerina- who doesn't know history.
i really like the shape of this one- i love that st mary's halo(?)sticks way up like that off the piece.i think some empty spaces are needed for relief but i'm wondering if you need something tying st.mary to madonna to complete the circle you have made out of the images of the women? more beads there perhaps? not much more but maybe a little something.
