Couple by a Ledge
This is an idea that I worked up in a quick sketch recently, and it has stuck with me. This 18×24 inch drawing works it out more, and on a vertical. The first sketch was a horizontal. It suggests a number of things to me including Venus and Adonis. But it is perhaps any couple in love, seeking the quiet sanctuary of a wooded place beneath a ledge outcropping. There may be a hint of apprehension in the eyes of the pair. Could it be Orpheus and Eurydice? Is there a serpent on the right that she is just at this moment noticing? The drawing is still quite open to different conclusions.
