Hi pratice with J.S. Sargent ok SLAINTE

[D Akey]

Excellent Spring Equinox to you Mr Ploos the Pagan! Lovely little girl heads. The lad with the cross looks a wee bit sinister though.

I have pulled out of mothballs a style that I really am crazy about and an old traditional illustrator's dream -- Andrew Loomis. This guy was one of the best teachers ever. Did lots of great books on drawing and composition and all that -- in the realism of the 1940s era and thereabouts. The drawings you say are by Sergeant reminded me a lot of his look and it seems like it would be an easy jump from one style to the other. They're very close and a compliment to each other.

The linked pictures are from several of his books and whatnot. You'll get a really good idea of what he was about, and also may draw a wee bit of inspiration from them as well.
