This gentleman played quite deliberately and
I was able to get several poses– the problem
(or should I say, challenge) with this sort of
sketching is that your unaware model tends to
move around.
I went to the world biggest croquet
tournament last September at the Merion
Cricket Club and when I wasn’t playing,
I sketched some. Here are a few of some
ranked participants playing “Association”.
Graham Nash has seemingly weathered
the years better than Crosby and Stills,
at least from the distance of 200 feet!
Crosby is such a distinctive character which makes
him easy to draw….in this case from the large video
monitors flanking the Ravinia stage…I was actually
standing with the groundlings on the periphery of the
seated pavilion. His noggin from that distance was
the size of a matchhead.
We were at Ravinia to hear
Crosby, Stills and Nash–
thank you very much,
Marianne!
