The second sketch is one of Emperor and Empress of Japan that I saw in The Royal Correspondent [news]. It is also watercolors, and because they look a bit frail, I used faint watercolors to try to draw, then paint them.
You also see that I wrote notes to myself [in graphite, which blurred some as I was drawing] to remind me how to paint them with authentic clothing and accessories and the color of hair and eyes. I do not erase my notes to myself, because I need them when I redo the sketches.
I am a white, single, woman, Christian, and I was born in the state of Georgia, and have two grown daughters but no sons. I own the copyright to art I create.
I am also known as Gloria on art I create, and as Gloria poole [which is my real. born with name ] on some sketches, and also gloria0817; gpoole817; gloria.poole; gpoole817; gloria_poole; gloria-poole; artist-gloriapoole; Gloriapoole [written that way by some one at remote who tried to hijack an acct of mine]; gloriapoole1749; Gloria Poole,RN; gloriapoole.RN; gloriapoole; gloriapoole-paintings; cartooning-by-gloriapoole; gloriapooleRN at yahoo; gloriapoole_RN; and other variations of my real name of Gloria Poole.

Update on 9-Dec-2013 at 5:45pm because of corruption in high places in Tift County GA:
Here is a scripture for those who pretend to be Christian in the state of Georgia [or any state], while swindling people : It is written, "he that justifieth the wicked and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the Lord. " Proverbs 17: 15, KJV. And here is another verse for those same crooks: " whoso mocketh the poor, reproacheth his Maker, and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished. "Proverbs 17:5
