Our first session in the new, smaller space!

Cramped but doable. Have plans to purchase 3 bar stools for the bar area. That would have accommodated us all.
Even so, it was lots of fun and we had another great model, Liz Jorgensen!
LIZ JORGENSEN LIFE SKETCHES POETIC ART
July 14, 2011 Haiku Pieces and Vignettes
Hair is sun is hair.
Blonde strands themselves are summer.
She is a Kigo.*
* Japanese term loosely translated as “Seasonal Word.”
My pen makes her sylph,
elongates her like funhouse
gravity mirrors.*
*Dark matter and other deep space structures sometimes cause entire clusters of thousands of galaxies each to appear as stretched celestial streaks as if they were sylphs or other elven like beings, similar to funhouse mirror distortions at a carnival amusement park, only lovely in an ethereal way.
Beauty is error,
my lack of skill my paintbrush –
Van Gogh of struggles.
As I fear blindness,
queries bypass my deep mind –
what is the soul of nude?
Beatific Haiku
Swimmingly I sketch
unspeakable feminine
forms God gifted us.
Preternatural
sunshine glow, luminous
July countenance.
They call my mistakes
modern art, which Warhol says
you get away with.
Abstract arises
in her bright warm summer light
and my utter lack.
I accept waters
that form my field of eyesight
and liquid beauty.
In sketching I dive
into murky warm tropic
seas and am not wet.
Victory Sketch Haiku
Deep rhapsodic joys
I feel when I sort of get
her solar form!
Spiritual Exile Haiku
She straddles structures
perhaps like her history.
Distant Salt Lake white.
Metal pipe music,
tones of mournful deep organ.
What chains did she leave?
Deep soul pondering
the light from every sun.
Each star tans her.
