Figure Drawing by Laura Laire

This drawing was done in a figure drawing class when I was in college.  It was one of my favorite classes!  Not because the models were without clothes but because I have always loved the human figure.  It is my favorite landscape.

With many oil paintings hanging in my house, I still favor my simple drawings even in charcoal on newsprint.  There is something about the unfinished feel, the fingerprints left on the paper and the organic nature of a bare human being.  Nothing but raw beauty.

Makes me wonder what she was thinking…

What do you think was on her mind?

Love and art,
