Looking at the Elgin Marbles
A friend of mine returned from a visit to the UK with some marvelous photos of the Elgin Marbles. I have also admired Anna Stump's images, inspired by Greek statues and drapery. So, I got inspired in turn. They are all done on very coarse water color paper, using charcoal and various forms of water based inks and paints. I think that the texture and energy that I was after show up, even in my amateur photographs.

Oh, the marbles! They give a whole new meaning to the phrase "losing one's marbles". Beautiful images. Many thanks.
Greetings from London.
These are exciting, Nancy - my favorites of your work, so far.
Thank you both for the lovely comments. But I'm inspired by some of the loveliest images in all Western Art so how could I go wrong?
