Gypsy by Mary Ellis LaGarde

Gypsy
Charcoal and Pencil on Paper

Mary drew this sketch at a workshop taught by Tony Ryder in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 2007.  The sketch was meant to be an under-painting for an oil portrait.  The model decided, on an impulse, to wrap a scarf around her head which led Mary to give her sketch the title “Gypsy”.
