Marilyn Monroe SketchMarilyn Monroe Monday Morning -  This piece is another one that I did on a bar stool, this was  a bar stool, that my dear husband found whilst  dumpster diving.

The treasures that are thrown out in the Village he works for are priceless.

I used a soft HB woodless graphite pencil to draw Marilyn in two of her famous poses.  I can say with certainty, I am not crazy about the bottom of the drawing, I did not feel I captured the softness of her curves.
Curves that were mind you a size 14, in todays standards that would be considered a XL or even heavy.  Stunning in her classy dresses, and her quite nature.

“Some Like it Hot”  classic, with her wit and charm, along with sex appeal.  Marilyn was a stunning woman, and had such grace.
