Shakespeare revisited - Romeo & Juliet

Comments

Love the humour in both the first line of your text and painting, Lewis. She certainly is a vision to behold. Reminds me of myself after a session down the local :)

A touch of Upstart Crow. Marvellous drawing.

But, soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? By any other word would smell as sweet.

That touched a funny spot Lew thanks for the laugh!

Absolute corker Lewis can't stop laughing.

Thanks everyone, for your welcome comments. I'm far from a Shakespeare expert, but much of his writing is in everyday use anyway, for example...he gave us 'love is blind.' Quite handy with men playing women's roles.

Great ! Think Romeo should have gone to Specsavers !

Ah well , Lewis , this greets me as I rise on a sunny morning - a smile for the day keeps the miseries at bay. Another beaut. Now off to plant Jersey Bennes for Christmas dinner !!

I know...I'm an old romantic. And you'll know that in Shakespeare's day female roles were played by men and boys. A bit hurried, not much time for art, a lot going on at home. 4B pencil, A3 sketchbook.

About the Artist

Lewis Cooper

Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
