Here is my latest drawing. I wanted to try to do a pure black and white, so I figured that a drawing of a statue would be perfect. The statue is called "Pluto and Proserpina" by Bernini (my favorite sculptor). I saw this work many years ago while still in the Navy, it is in the Borghese Gallery in Rome. No one could turn cold marble into warm flesh as could Bernini! I've made it a point over the years to visit every Bernini Statue in existence. I've not found them all, but the search has been a joy!

Again, I'm frustrated that the JPEG image is so washed out, but it is the best I can post. Pluto_&_Proserpina.jpg
