This is a sketch I created today 17 March 2015 using historical photos as reference. This is similar to how rich people in the 1800's lived. I read history a lot and I look at historical photos when I have them available to do that. IF you compare the 1800s with the mansions of rich people today you will see that the 1800s were less ostentatious and more solid looking, and more community oriented [not fenced in with gates and border patrols etc] . I drew this in pencil first then painted it with watercolors in the main form but had to use white acrylic on the columns and beam to second floor. I signed it, photographed it several times and uploaded it also today. That is my hand holding the left edge of the sketch book to photograph it. I also updated the about me page of this blog with photos of me as they have appeared on blogs of mine before to associate this blog with me Gloria Poole,RN,artist of Missouri.
Also, I have added new sketches I created in past 3 days to these blogs of mine:

https://words-that-work-LLP.blogspot.com
https://tapestry-of-life-LLP.blogspot.com
https://real-women-have-babies.blogspot.com
and other sites and blogs also. If I unintentionally or purposefuly omit any it does not "undo" my ownership of them or copyright on them.
and as viewers probably know by now, I create art in some form almost every day and post it to my blogs to make art available to all, even those who cannot afford the fees to a Museum.
Also, I am adding in photos and symbols that represent me since holding onto my identity is an on-going battle.Also, note the day of the week that I post to my blogs or update my sites has no significance to anything I do. I live here 24/7/365 and go on line when I want too. I paint, draw, sketch, photograph, create hands-on things such as the clay doll mentioned already, try new recipes I see on TV, when I am not on line. Also, all phones associated with this blog and its underlying account belong to me Gloria Poole and are physically present in my apartment in Missouri 99% of the time. I have a wired telephone line and I have cell phones and I take some of the phones with me when I walkabout as my so-called "security".
This is my signature I signed with digital ink to createa personal logo for this year.
This is my photo of one of my christian cross necklaces to remind all that I am born again Christian and adhere closely to the Holy Bible, and do not make nor worship images of GOD [as I perceive HIM because no one alive has seen GOD]; nor do I worship idols, statues, or ikons or bon down to anything, in keeping with the commandments of GOD in Exodus chapter 20, KJV.
This is my photo of the U S flag to remind all that I am U S citizen born in state of Georgia [in the South] and have all constitutional guarantees including the first amendment liberties to worship GOD; publish, protest governments, associate or not with those I want too.
