Two Sketches: a Pair of Stylish Hats and Their Wearers

    For today, two hats which make quite definite statements, and their elegant wearers.  The first hat is a boldly stylish shape and carries a stripe across its jutting outline; the second is simply big and broad and would provide any amount of shade in a brash, sunny climate.  However I chose to name the second drawing after the lady's short shirt-jacket, a bolero pulled over her light polka-dot bodice.

    These two drawings are part of my special “sketchbook series”.  Their clear lines, a black pen following across a light sketch in pencil, make the portraits of women you will see from this procession of pictures; ladies with lively or tranquil faces, fashionable hairstyles and hats, and a sense of poise or grace.  It is a daily story, told with a pen and very occasionally with a line of charcoal; please enjoy the visual words that create their identities and expressions.
