I took the Design class to the art museum the other day to expose them to some “real art.”
After I give them a tour and lecture I let them loose to draw some of the art.
While I’m there I generally knock out a few sketches as well.
I’ll walk around until something pulls me in.
This time it was a couple of women…

Sarah Bernhardt by Jules Bastien-Lepage
Sometime later I discovered that Sarah Bernhardt had
portrayed Queen Elizabeth in a 1912 silent film.
Queen Elizabeth had her cousin, Mary Queen of Scots,
beheaded at Fotheringay Castle on February 8th, 1587 for involvement
in a plot to kill her.
