I enjoy drawing things of the past because it makes me think of simpler times when people were all more innocent. Today is Good Friday. God have mercy on us all....
On August 13th 2018 in rhe wee hours of dawn, health supplement entrepreneur Shanann Watts and her 2 daughters, Cece and Bella, were murdered. Shanann was also pregnant with a son named Nico. Chris Watts, husband and father, strangled them all in a premeditated act in order to start a new life with his mistress. It isn't important how they died but how they lived. Now they are spending eternity in heaven together and Chris? Well, Chris will be spending the rest of his life in prison; a fate much more merciful than the fate of his family. His 4 year-old daughter Bella was recorded singing a song about her daddy called My Daddy is A Hero. Nothing could have been further from the truth.
Brits throw the word "bloody" around all the time so I figured I'd title this painting with it as well. After all, Black Sabbath conjures up snguinous images of bloody this and that. What rock star collection would be complete without a scratching of Ozzy. Sharrrrrron!
I haven't had a drawing mojo for a while but I knew that I had to pull it together and finish this one. Rosie Flores might look like the delicate flower her name describes but she is a powerful guitarist and songwriter with a style all her own. Of course i cant take all the credit for this rendering. I drew it from a photo my husband Barry shot of her during her recent concert at Tales from the Tavern. Drawing her inside the rose was my embellishment though. After the concert, Rosie and I became fast friends and i promised to do this drawing of her. So, Rosie. Here ya go!
