This interpretation of John Singer Sargent's lovely acquaintance is about as straight forward as I get, but the maze in this picture flows nicely and I like her quirky eyebrow.
|
|
Each drawing is also a maze / puzzle:
A single continuous path runs through the image.

Fuseli Nightmare
Pen & Ink
Original
22" X 28" (17" X 20" image)

It's unclear if the woman in Fuseli's painting is imperilled or just has a soft spot for trolls, but the mare in the picture seems as unconcerned with any psychological implications as any dark horse would be.

Gervex Paris Cafe

I believe that's painter Henri Gervex himself stoking the pipe in this scene, perhaps smoking the same thing that I was when I drew this one.

Contemplating life after many years in the wilderness lends a haggard poignancy that translates well in this pen and ink drawing that's almost twice the height of the original carving on which it is based.

Copley Shark
Pen & Ink

A moment so tense you could poke it with a harpoon, yet the floundering young Watson, depicted per John Copley, survived these dire straits and came to be known as Ol' Pegleg.
|
|
This self-portrait by Vince - the first Van Gogh to be purchased by an American museum (The DIA) - started to morph under my pen and it looks as if maybe his eyes heard about "the ear," if you get my drift.

The two figures in Ed Degas' study seemed distracted, but under the Peterson pen it appears that their minds are drifting - or maybe it's just their hair sneaking off for a secret rendezvous.
