More gestures


Back to the subject at hand.  These were done with compressed pastels, something I'm not really practiced with but I still liked some of the figures that came out of Erin's poses, particularly the back pose with the tension caused by the arms.  The other back shot probably would have been a nice finished piece had it been at least five minutes long.  The joys and frustrations of the minute pose.
As a kid (of which I still am in many ways) I always enjoyed the "Minute Mysteries", those quick little who-dun-its that came in those thin little books.  They're hard to find now but gestures seem to have taken their place.
