Here are the three drawings I worked on over the weekend. Above is Irish Eyes. I just thought she looked incredibly Irish for some reason. Maybe it's her green eyes and the pretty green collar on her blouse?
...and here are two gals - actually the same gal Poppy. She's a bit more stylised than I would normally draw but I am pleased with how she turned out. The one on the left is Poppy at the Ball 2 and the right Poppy at the Ball 1. I loved how in the roaring 20s there were plenty of feathers and pretty headdresses. It seems the only time we can wear a feather in our hair these days is at the races!
All three are now in my shop!!
P.S. I now have a SALE section in my shop!
Hope everyone had a terrific weekend!
Oh, aren't these lovely! Yet another few prints to add to my wishlist :)

Lovely girls and I really like your plane tree shot below too. The nuts always remind me of Christmas tree decorations!

oh, that black irish girl is lovely! i think that is what they call them? i used to have a friend that was irish and had dark hair and green eyes, and that is what she told me. she was a bit of a nutter, so hopefully i am not out of bounds on this!

Oh, I absolutely love your pics that you drew. They are amazing. :) Also, they do look very Irish and can tell because I have eyes almost like that mine are Blue-green. :) (partly from the German and the Irish background in my family)

I love Irish Eyes and the Poppy gals Sam! Hey you should wear feathers in your hair whenever you wish to. You could revive the roaring twenties look in Sydney. The feathers would go nicely with your sock monkey costume ;)
