My drawing of a crown in workbook, by me Gloria Poole, RN,artist of/in Missouri

I drew this from lesson 22 in my workbook to teach myself to draw more difficult subjects. I have posted several of those lessons to different blogs . So far, I have drawn 23 of the lessons which have increased in level of difficulty. If you look at this drawing in graphite, you see, I messed up the Christian cross at the bottom edge of it totally! I didn't want to erase and re-draw the whole thing so I let it stay. I may draw this theme again because it was one of the most challenging objects I ever tried to draw. The velvet in the pouffy part of the crown was especially difficult to draw. I erased it several times, re-drew it several times. It's not perfect but I learned much about trying to draw complex objects, objects that curve around into an circle and much decorated objects. I took about FOUR HOURS drawing this which is 4.5 times longer than usual! I learned to draw in a formal class where each drawing had to be finished in an hour, and turned in for a grade. Copyright.

Also, for the record, I, Gloria Poole, personally also own all cameras, computers, equipment, and telephones that I use to create art and display it. I photograph my art with my own cameras and all memory cards that I bought and use in any device. There is no corporation nor business partner involved in any work I create. FYI.

Note that I do not personally collect any info whatsoever on who views or reads any blog of mine. I do not require registration to view any content of mine. However, because threats were made to my life many times and because I suffered through trauma twice caused by people who wanted to kill me, law enforcement, and or computer manufacturers and my isp account might record the IP address of where you view my content for my safety sake.

I make an deliberate effort to cause my words and art go to around the world. I keep my art, photos and words pure so that anyone anywhere of any age can read them or view them. I thank all of you publicly for considering my art I make and my words worth you time! I make note of the stats on each blog and some viewers of other blogs do not view this blog so I am not sure what the difference is. I think it may be the title I put on each or that they do not recognize the telephone numbers I put on some blogs as mine but I do have telephones from 4 different companies because threats were made to my life by my 2nd exhusband [initials DBP] who tried four times to kill me during years 2003-2006. I am very cautious and do not want him following me on twitter or sending me emails or communicating with me in any way. He has a mandatory restraining order against him. FYI.

All telephones on this account or any account of mine are my personal telephones and are physically located in my own private apt in Missouri. I am keeping all of them for my safety sake and for other reasons also.

This is my selfie [Gloria Poole,RN, artist] in spring 2014 but I look the same except that I am thinner and my hair is longer but I still put it in lop-sided pony tail when I walk about or create art to prevent hair from blowing into my eyes or into paint.That is also me that you see in the "about me" box on right side of some blogs of mine in which I am wearing a dark grey winter wool hat because that photo was taken of me in state of Georgia in Jan 2010 and my family in Georgia saw me wearing that hat and so did other people. So I am leaving that photo also on this blog for that reason.
