The Curtain

You can maybe see why Norman Lindsay sometimes caused a riotous sensation in his time, in his native Australia.

Amazing! The watercolor and the drawing. I love them! I always love the preliminary drawings, even mine ones.

Thank you. (Please, pardon my english).

Alberto, your English is fine and dandy.

Yes, I think preliminary drawings are an art form unto themselves, and then to compare them to otherwise finished work is a beautiful lesson in art. I'm glad I was able to show these two works together.
