Fanciful Figure Study: Blue Bayou Babe

Under a crescent moon, Blue Bayou Babe has dropped by to say Hello!

New! Incomplete Gal (Name This Drawing)

In the olden days of Secret Moon Art ('round about 2005 and beyond) I sometimes posted unfinished drawings in this gallery, then published the complete version a bit later. Since I recently began drawing again, the urge to return to this 2-step practice has overtaken my best judgment.

So here is my latest attempt--its working title, Incomplete Gal:

Of course, in a certain sense, as long as we're still around, we're all incomplete, are we not?

Even so, if you'd like to see the finished drawing, please share this post and/or comment...your suggestions for her name are welcome too! Does the gal pictured above favor anyone you know?

Jan 3 2018: A Bit of Jude Cowell Art for the New Year!

Here's a drawing from a few years ago titled, Par-Tay! which seems appropriate for the just-passed holidays. Par-Tay!, with its masks and Chirotic poses, was originally posted to my Cosmic Persona Designs collection but I shuttered it because Google and a few viewers couldn't handle chiffon-clad figure studies. Guess the old adage, Don't Go To those Places wasn't in their lexicon!

But never mind because in 2018 you are cordially invited to browse my FineArtAmerica Boutique of drawings now available in various forms! Actually, an art-decorated tote bag would be nice...

Wishing You All a Happy and Prosperous 2018!

Jude

Wishing a Merry Christmas to All!

Dora's Pink Shoe Envy by Jude Cowell

Dora's Pink Shoe Envy is an ancient drawing originally posted to my now-defunct art gallery blog Cosmic Persona Designs which was mostly figure studies and mask-related illustrations.

Some of the pencil portraits were on the slightly racy side which Google couldn't handle so I shuttered the blog. You can go there now if you like but there are very few images left and an echo ripples through its halls and empty spaces are on its walls!
