hilarious title.. this was one of a series done a while ago. I did base a painting on this ‘study’, but I think the drawing has been more successful really.

Yeah, kind of a silly stereotype I have of russian university student girl, probably a musican,.. from a peasant family..upwardly mobile..oh dear, I extrapolate waaay tooo much :]

But basically theres some valid thing there, some impressions of a svetlana from latvia… I hope the real svetlana will forgive.

from memory / imagination … graphite on paper.
