John Singer Sargent
No original art today. Sorry guys.
I just felt like showing you some sketches by my all-time favorite artist, John Singer Sargent. His sketches aren't shown as often as his very famous paintings, but are absolutely breathtaking... If I could have three wishes, one would be to watch Sargent paint, the other would be to have him draw me, and the third would be for a billion dollars. But I concur.

His talent leaves me speechless and feeling 100 times more inadequate and inspired than any other artist.
Look at the necklace in the last one! How did he do that?? How did he make is so clear that she's wearing a a sparkling piece of jewlery with barely any marks? The arms and legs of the men wrestling... He only had to HINT at toes and fingers, but it registers as realism! I cannot even comprehend he artistic genius. And I have to put this one in because I love it so much:
