People with Animals on Their Heads (and an octopus)

I'm finally getting around to posting my drawings from First Thursday earlier this month. First up is my drawing of Jean Calomeni's "Bustle in Her Hedgerow" at the Basement Gallery:


 After that, I realized the Modern Hotel was having its annual Modern Art at the Modern Hotel, so I headed there. This is a sketch I did of a watercolor by Georgia Gelder. Only when I'd nearly finished did I realized I had a theme here: people with animals on their heads.



It was a fantastic theme while it lasted, but I realized I had to break it up when I saw Ben Brunn's delightful octopus painting. I love cephalopods.
