Rhapsodies

One of the advantages of the house sitting I’ve been doing this month is the place is walking distance from the Seattle Asian Art Museum. This had given me the opportunity to catch up on my sketching. This has found me drawn back to the central room of the museum with their collection of Indian Sculpture. I’ve drawn most of this multiple times, but thats all right they all provide excellent challenges. Besides, I can keep things interesting by looking at them from different angles.

Today’s sketch is of the god of creation, Brahma with his consort, Brahmani. I’m always impressed by the tenderness in these statues. It makes them look like they’re a real loving couple.
