Is it Nureyev? or am I wildly wrong. If you really saw HIM I am incredibly envious. Lovely portrait of whoever it is -you have such skill Marjorie.

Nureyev without doubt. Nice work Marjorie.

Nice work no matter who it is it does look like Nureyev though

Yes, it is Nureyev. So handsome. Saw him in "Don Quixote" in Manchester. When he leapt on to the stage everyone gasped. I'll never forget it. Thanks for the comments Carol, Jim and Dennis.

Yep, it's him...I was going to say that earlier, but I couldn't spell his name. Looks like pen & ink?? Whatever it is, it's good.

What a thrill Marjorie, and what a successful ink portrait.

Ta, Lewis and Fiona. I'm looking forward to getting back to normality, just a few more chocs to eat....

Thanks for all the comments on this quickie, lovely to be in contact with everyone again after the madness that is now Xmas ( becoming Scrooge in my old age ). " Drawing" is the next club project so I'll be posting a few more I expect.
