Methinks this might have been the expression himself wore last week when he was forcibly invited to attend a speed trap party by the nice police officer waving the big red stop sign in his face. There were at least 15 unhappy attendees at this particular soiree and I imagine a good time was not had by all!

As for the drawing...Tim found an artist online that we had no knowledge of. His name was Nicolai Fechin and his drawings took our breath away! Literally. Google him if you dare and hold on tight. In my humble opinion, Sargent was the best I'd ever seen. Apparently I was wrong.  Ever since digesting his work, all I want to do is draw! The man had mad skills.

  1. Ah! You need to get yourself to Taos, NM to see Fechin's work in the museum that used to be his home. My husband and I visited a couple years ago and were very impressed. I had heard of him because of the time he spent in Bali, but had never seen his work.

  7. I have been sitting here trying to figure out who this reminds me of...but am at a loss. This is one exquisite drawing of one of the face's many expressions. I love whatever you do, Suz. It is perfection!

  10. Fechin is amazing but Sargent is still my number one.
    One of my fellow art students used to go around saying, "Why is Nicolai Fechin's work so appealing? Because it's so fetchin'."

    This drawing is great!!

  14. You really must go to Taos to see the museum and his work. What an amazing artist (and teacher) he was.

    Love your incredible attention to detail and your ability to translate expression through your drawing. It seems that "Mr. Speeder" might just move at any moment.

    Bises,
