Marsha

No, she doesn’t look like this.  She broke her ankle.  Surgery, 9 pins, a plate, and six weeks off of that foot is going to be a trial.  Trying to work and pay for the hospital is going to be …more than a trial.  She has no insurance thanks to a preexisting condition.  This drawing is my take on the situation.  Also, it’s the first time I’ve drawn on vellum.  I really like it.  This is 3’x2′.  The roll is 36″ wide.  Gregg’s going to make me a drawing board from a sheet of plywood, so I can draw as large as 8’x3′.  I like drawing big, but then how to display it is a big problem.  I’m supposed to cover it w/ acrylic sheet, but it’s very expensive.  My approach is to pin it to the wall, but then it isn’t suitable for “collectors”.  I want to enter a drawing show at UNCA, but not spend a fortune, which I don’t have, anyway, on framing two large drawings.  Oh, well, my problems are nothing compared to Marsha’s.
