Batch2-Ethnic Series Paintings and sketches by Gloria Poole of Missouri

This is the second batch of ethnic oil paintings and sketches I, Gloria Poole, of Missouri & state of Georgia,  am adding to this mini-exhibition. I am trying to categorize them according to time frame, adding those I painted first to the first batch, then those in subsequent years afterwards. I tend to paint on canvas only when I have a very definite idea of how I want it to look, so draw, paint, sketches until then. I can and do create art with all artists' mediums: oils, acrylics, watercolors, goauche, tempera, inks. See title of painting or sketch below it. Also, the only one of this batch in which I tried to create a likeness of a living person is the sketch of Canadian PM S Harper. The others I created with a  pencil and a paint brush. The costumes often are similar to the authentic I saw in the news, however.
