Ethnic sketches: Argentinian by Gloria Poole

I am adding four of the ethnic sketches I completed this morning to this blog of mine. The first one is named Argentinian President [my attempt at real person]. I have hand written notes on these as to color of eyes, hair, skin, clothing but I modify them often [called "artistic license"]. These sketches are watercolor and the Tamil tiger also has acrylic on it:

The second sketch is supposed to resemble the Iranian [also known in Bible as Persians] President.

The third sketch is named German Man from the BBC . All of these sketches were drawn by me as I looked at photos in the news of real people. I designate when I am attempting to draw and or paint a real living person. Usually I paint people I make up in my head as I am drawing.

The fourth is my version of a Tamil "Tiger" woman from Sri Lanka that was in a group in the news. I try to refer to authentic costumes or apparel when creating sketches or paintings for the ethnic series I am creating.

Also, I added more ethnic sketches I created to each of these blogs of mine:

Sketches by Gloria Poole in Missouri

I am putting four more sketches I Gloria Poole created on this blog to show the many types of art I create: portraiture of not-real people and occasionally real people; landscape; tropical fish ; and ocean scenes in this post. But I also cartoon, and I paint paintings of entire scenes and I painted the ethnic series of oil paintings and sketches that has been displayed intermittently since 2007. I am painting, sketching, drawing, sketching still, and photograph and add them in batches i.e. upload them from cameras but occasionally I photograph with cell phone(s) and email to my inbox.

The first sketch is a not-existent/ not real person that was the preliminary sketch for the oil painting I painted later that I named "Irish student" that is one of the ethnic series and displayed on other blogs of mine.

Other blogs that I display art I create on are:

Walkover Bridge painting & Harlequin painting by Gloria Poole

I am adding two paintings I painted to this blog. The first one is Walkover Bridge # 2; because I painted a walkover bridge years ago. This is my second attempt to get it as I wanted it. I saw a walkover bridge somewhere in my life and it stuck in my mind. I know they exist everywhere, especially in the island countries that have low lands. It is oil on canvas, and signed by me and I painted it in 2012. I think the first walkover bridge I painted might be on my flick album at http://www.flickr.com/photos/gloriapoole.

The second painting is one I painted trying to paint a woman who would lead a man astray, based on something a man I dated said to me once about me not being one of those sort of women. I paint and sketch and draw often, and usually the people I paint are not real people. So these are not real bridge, not real person, I entitled the "not the sort of woman good men marry" as "Harlequin". It was on another blog of mine [gloriapoole.xanga.com ] for a while.

Sketch & cartoon by Gloria Poole

This is a sketch I created/drew/painted and named "windswept" for a stormy sort of day, blowing earth all around, but coping; and keeping on, keeping on. Just for fun.

And I am adding a cartoon here that I drew and named NSA on it to signify nosiness. But maybe a better name would be "Pinocchio"? Also, just for fun.

I am adding the cartoon to this site instead of my cartooning site because some powers that be on the internet did not think the cartooning sites are mine.

My cartooning sites are:

https://cartooning-by-gloriapoole.blogspot.com

https://sites.google.com/site/PooleGloria

Also, I have painted six more ethnic paintings to add to the ethic series I began in yr 2007 in another state. I photographed them and added to other blogs of mine. You can see those paintings on these blogs of mine:

I also have prolife blogs that I sometimes create art for and add it to make a point, but I Gloria Poole own the copyright for all art I create, and have never hired an artist's rep or authorized anyone to sign my name on anything. NEVER! I sign my name as Gloria on paintings but sometimes when distracted and drawing on paper I write my full name on sketches on paper. I am also known as gloria0817; gpoole817; Ms Gloria Poole; Poole, Gloria; Gloria Poole, RN; gloriapoole.RN; gloriapooleRN at yahoo; Gloria Poole; gloria.poole; gloria_poole; gloria-poole; gloria-poole, glorapoole1749 and other variations of my real born with name of Gloria Poole.

Cartooning is fun but it is not the main way that I paint as an artist. I paint with all mediums of oils, acrylics, watercolors, goauche, tempera, inks on all sorts of surfaces: canvases, paper, sketch books, bristol, and with brushes, pens, and draw with pencils, charcoals, inks, I am Gloria Poole--that is my real, born with name-- and I am the white, single, [divorced twice] heterosexual woman ,mother, grandmother, R.N., artist, blogger, prolifer, Christian, who was born in Georgia but currently lives in Missouri. I am very much alive and never at any time lived in Florida. So don't be fooled by malicious obituaries put to fool the public. I am alive and not dying any time soon, GOD willing. Also, I only have one residence and it is in Missouri and it is not shared. Also for the record, my second ex-husband who lives in Colorado never lived in this apt , never painted anything, never contributed a cent to any thing I have done since yr 2007; and tried to kill me several times. He is not authorized on any accountt of mine. It is necessary to write that again because of something that happened today. I own my equipment & my phones including the 2 cell phones I had in Colorado, belong to me and I brought them with me when I moved to Missouri in Oct 2009. I keep the ones I had from year 2007 because they are mine, because I photograph with them at times, because I uploaded much art I created with them, and because they were published on websites as mine; and because I put them as my contact on Court documents that are still relevant [in case Court officials needed to warn me of danger if exhusband in the area]. I also have telco phones and cell phones I bought in Missouri, and I use all of them in different ways. Gloria Poole at my apt in Missouri. 26-Sept-2013.

White water canoeing; Welcome baby Prince of Cambridge

This is a sketch I drew with inks and named "white water" of a father and young daughter canoeing in a white water river [which is a very difficult task to do]. Because I use permanent inks [as well as other mediums] it often tries my patience to attempt a sketch with inks only. They are a difficult medium as are watercolors precisely because they are totally fluid. But I did and I post sketches often that are not quite what I had in mind; because it shows my progress as an artist. That particular day I had green permanent ink on my index finger and thumb from painting with green ink and brush/ pen. I have drawn with precision since high school, and learned to paint afterwards. I have painted for years and had [or have] some paintings in museums in state of Georgia. I am adding it here to see how it looks in larger digital form [which I often to] and to show it to world. I learned to canoe at the University of Georgia years ago when a student for a second go-round [different degree]. I had an ignorant canoer in the front position who stood straight up,overturned canoe, dumped us overboard in deep water. That was an experience of righting the canoe, getting back into it, with water beneath of about 40 feet. I don't canoe in white water rivers but some people do, as a challenge. This is an abstract sketch somewhat, meaning the trees on the distant shore barely resemble trees, and I had much trouble with the thumbnail size faces.I do not usually paint or draw in tiny spaces. So that was a challenge and I am not particularly happy with the results so it's a redo also. It's in a sketch book of mine on my portable drawing board. See for yourself:

Also, I have a better photo of the farmer sketch, after there were some upgrades in several tech and isp accounts in past few days.

And this is my photo of my painting I painted years ago of a farm that was described to me by me daughter Leigh when she was in Peace Corps for two years:

Also, I want to welcome to the world the one day old tiny Prince of Cambridge born to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge of the UK. The birth of the third in line to the throne of 16 countries is history in the making;and I want to record it too. So, I added a photo of a flower I photographed on walkabout, as a customary thing to do for new mothers [ send flowers] as you see here:

Farmer sketch first sketch

This is my sketch I drew and painted and named "Farmer". I also added this to another blog of mine, but then realized I had redone the sketch some and rephotographed it so it might not be identical. This is the first version of that sketch. I changed the beams some and the floor under cow some when I repainted it. I have another sketch almost done too, that I will add to another blog soon.

,P> Also, see my blog at http://gloriapoole.blogspot.com for today's post.

Copyright : I Gloria Poole own all rights to the art I create and to the words I write. I have the originals I create in most cases. A few of my paintings were stolen from me when I put them into a storage facility in St Simons Island GA, yrs ago. When I went to get my stuff, all the paintings were gone. That was about 10 paintings and I have photos in print form [developed at retail] of those.And I sold about 3 paintings in the late 1990's. But haven't marketed them for sale since then.

Sketch Plus Google Plus ?

This is my sketch I painted of a little girl licking her bowl. I named it "those table manners could use some help". It was also on another blog of mine but in a rougher form. Also, on this particular blog for some reason, it is very hard to tell how the photo I upload will actually look . On the other blog that I uploaded it too, I think it looks more accurate shape-wise. I photograph my art with an assortment of cameras, and they all have settings, and I experiment with the settings and with the cameras quite a bit.

Also, I am trying to learn how to use Google plus as it seems to be an excellent platform for many uses. I am a bit intimidated by it at this time. I 'accidentally" added 63 tech people today by clicking a button that said "follow" technology. I guess I thought it would be tech news. I don't know how to un-add them, so if you see yourself in my google plus and wonder how that happened, that's how.

I am painting on a large canvas. It is a work in progress as it requires skills to paint water that I don't have yet. Well. I mean, I have painted water scenes on smaller canvases, but this is large canvas that is much more ambitious idea. So, it's bit by bit to accomplish, then down time, think on it, then try again.

In the meantime, I am trying to keep my blogs updated in reasonable time frame. I updated one yesterday at http://gloriapoole.wordpress.com that was last updated in January. So, trying to do better.

Also, I am the white, Christian, single, woman with the real name of Gloria Poole who was born in Georgia; and who now lives in Missouri. Also, see my about me pg on this blog and on other profiles of mine; and see other blogs I create for more art work.

Lawn chairs & gardens--sketch & a photo

This sketch is a sketch I drew and painted last yr. that is another blog of mine in the archives. I add a few sketches to more than one blog as a way of sort of associating my originals in the minds of viewers [meaning that they will know I am the same woman who creates art for gloriapoole.blogspot.com; and other blogs, and writes the content; and who is indeed Gloria Poole]. The sketch is of a theme I really like since I saw the garden chair and then decided to sketch it. There is a similar chair set in a wooded area in a gorgeous garden covering acres of land where I walkabout and photograph some. The South is infused with azaleas, but the Midwest? not so much. The pink flowers are azaleas.

Then yesterday on walkabout, I saw a different scene with a different sort of bench and background and photographed it. I have not painted from it yet, [but might later; so I am adding it here. The second photo with the broader bench is only a photo, not a painting or sketch. But you can see that such scenes are appealing visually for painting or photographing. I photograph a ton! In fact,on almost every walkabout and with an assortment of cameras, cell phones, digital cameras, cameras with film, etc. I began that years ago to paint from when I got home, and continue photographing regularly. I add photographs that I photograph to my blogs intermittently also, but I label them as such.

Copyright belongs to me Gloria Poole in Missouri [but born in the state of Georgia]; aka: gloriapoole; gloria0817; gpoole817; gloria.poole; gloria-poole; gloria_poole; gloriapooleRN at yahoo; gloriapoole1749; gloriapoole.RN;artist-gloriapoole; gloriapoole-paintings;g-l-o-r-i-a; and another way that I do not publicize because of events that happened in the past. I am the white, christian, single woman who paints, sketches, blogs, photographs, and who began and produced Tapestry of LIFE TV in Colorado [in yr 2003-2006] and who began words that WORK in GA in 1993; and who is a prolifer and Christian. FYI. It is necessary to write that because for the past 10 yrs there have been many people trying to impersonate me,and who stole content from me by breaking into my computer(s); and stealing U S mail from me. I had to morph my way of writing my name at times whencriminals broke into my hosting accounts to steal them and to steal $ and content and emails from them.

I am doing all that I can do to try to get control of my name, my blogs, my content, my telephones; my art I create and my photographs I have photographed since 2007 and added to online albums including Flickr, Picasa, mozy, and T-Mobile, and blogs including http://gloriapoole.livejournal.com; gloriapoole.wordpress.com; gloriapoole.xanga.com; gloriapoole.tumblr.com; gloriapoole1749.wordpress.com; gloriapoole.blogspot.com; gloria0817.blogspot.com; and others; and more others that are specifically for writing on the prolife cause, or mission to publish the gospel in bits and bytes. The blogs included are not all the blogs I have created and add too intermittently. See my "about me" page on my blog at http://gloriapoole.blogspot.com for more info; and also see my profile pages on Microsoft, Google, wordpress, Picasa.

Also, I have to add this so people are not deceived: I have 2 Picasa albums that I know of,* that I created years ago, and that have many photos of the art I created and some of me, and some of family photos possibly. However, once when I logged into this blog there were pages and pages of photos [about 3500 photos] attached to user id's I had never heard of, or seen before and which shocked me that somehow they were able to add content to my album [from my tablet] without my permission. I am very cautious about creating online albums for several reasons and that is one of them. I don't want to accidentally vouch for unknown photos or unknown persons who use my name unlawfully! It had about a handful of my photos but then pages and pages of people's photos who were totally unknown to me.

My art I create and the photos I photograph are always moral and could be viewed by anyone. I do not publish to the web immoral or illegal stuff and try faithfully not to allow it to get on my computer(s) in any form.

*footnote: I think the url addresses of them are: picasaweb.google.com/gloriapoole; and picasaweb.google.com/gloria0817. That url address was changed a couple of time by Google I think. But you might can find them by Googling my name in any of the various ways I have written it on web for years [since about 1993 beginning in state of Georgia].

"Backstage" sketch by Gloria Poole

This sketch below I sketched in acrylics and named it "backstage". It is also on another blog of mine. I am adding it here for the reason that it took rebooting my computer,then three tries logging in to get past the attempt by criminals to prevent me from logging into one of my accts [via their use of bombarding my computer with attempt to deny service attack]. The perverts really hate me and believe me, the feeling is mutual. I hate them also. Oh, yea, I know the perverts call me "bigot". I call them abomination from The Bible in Leviticus 18:22, KJV; and also "perverts" for attempting to pervert nature.

Back on task I was signing in for: this sketch was done on a day or two after I had talked to my 12 yr old granddaughter about her ballet classes; and I was thinking of all the preparations that go into a ballet performance. Both of my daughters were in ballet and now my three fairly young [ 12, 10 & 5] granddaughters are in ballet. I really love the fluid movements of ballet and the beautiful costumes. As the prima ballerina gets ready backstage she applies her makeup [in sketch applying lipstick] before putting on her costume, to try prevent drops make-up on it. So that is the background of this sketch.

I also updated another blog of mine today at: http://gloriapoole.wordpress.com, fyi.

Gloria Poole; aka gloriapoole , gpoole817, gloria0817, gloriapooleRN (at) yahoo; and other variations of my real born with name of Gloria Poole. I am white, Christian, single,heterosexual, woman who was born in the state of Georgia in the US and who has two and only 2 grown "children who are both daughters, named Jennifer & Leigh. I currently live in Missouri. I am also a Registered Nurse licensed in Missouri and an artist in oils, acrylics, powdered pastels, pen/inks, goauche, tempera, watercolors. You may see more of the art I create on other blogs of mine. I am also an alum of the University of Georgia which was a 2nd degree for me.

Prolife Reminder that tiny humans need you! Sketch

The tiny blue feet prints is a photo only, to remind the world that I am a PROLIFER from the get-go; and to ask you to remember the prolife cause needs good men and women to get involved in it. This is a photo I took of actual feet prints created with paint on tiny feet.

The wooden figurine you see below was carved on another continent and was given to me by my youngest [but grown daughter] for a mother's day gift a few yrs ago, and as a reward for all the times I have written on the prolife cause. I made a pedestal for it by turning my fruit bowl upside down. It is also a very good reminder that the most primal relationships between a man and a woman are the first commandment of GOD in Genesis 1:28, King James Holy Bible, because it is also a good reminder that the main purpose of sexual relationships is to reproduce the human race. [ That's not to say for pleasure is wrong--just that it was not GOD's main intent per scripture.] I took that that photo in my front room of my apt in Missouri. Also, fyi, I think that figurine was produced in Africa. My youngest daughter Leigh was in Peace Corps in West Africa for two years. She is in the U S now and she married a Peace Corps volunteer [then] named Matt and they have two very young children whom I adore.* I do not know the type of wood it is or what country made it. I do not claim that wooden figurine of mother & child as my art. I only photographed it for a prolife image. I created the arrangement and photographed it only. I did not sculpt the wood figure.

This sketch below is one of my efforts to draw a very elaborate costume that I saw of a Chinese lady who served as a tour guide in a magazine. It is a sketch only --original art created by me, in acrylics.

I think I will name it "Chinese tour guide" and it is a sketch in my sketch book. Or one of my sketch books. I have many sketch books filled with sketches; and also some on single paper, or other surfaces.

I have to remind people intermittently that writing on the prolife cause is my mission in life. I love creating art and it's relaxing pastime for me; and usually I like to display it to share. But I Gloria Poole, a white, single, Christian, woman, R.N., prolifer; writer, blogger, own all rights to the art I create in any form, style, with any tool on any surface in any place, whether or not I display it publicly. Also, fyi, I photograph extensively with a dozen or more cameras. I have for years as I walkabout, or do anything. I have some background in that, since I photographed/filmed with TV camera some for a TV station; and photographed events for a newspaper years ago. I had entire repository sites of thousands of photos that I photographed online for years. I have the photos in backup methods, but photographing is also something I do regularly. I probably have photographed 100,000 times with a variety of cameras. So I include photographs at times. Lately my photos have been quick to make a point, and when I was tired.

Also, fyi, I signed my name as gloriapoole in digital ink written altogether in lower case using a digital ink /graphics program; and I added it to one of my accounts as an icon. Just to be different--no confusion intended. I have written my name online as gloriapoole altogether in lower case letters since about 1994. But I sign my art in tangible form differently--the more formal signature method of either Gloria on bottom corner or as Gloria Poole on some sketches. On actual paintings I also usually put where I painted it and the title I named it; usually on the back of it. Also, I am not difficult to get in touch with. I am trying to create a body of work to start an art gallery. And trying to get the plan to the point of thinking it might work. I cannot afford to take a loss on it. So, in other words, if you want to contact me, and your intentions are good, [not trying to kill me, or ruin me] you can email me, write to my address in Missouri; or telephone me. I have telephones besides the ones listed on public blogs,or on dashboards or profiles online; and a ton of hardware/computers/cameras/phones/mobiles etc.

Also, my apt in Missouri is my only residence, since that has been in question by some people [from Museums] who saw my art. I have painted or sketched in most places I lived, so some of my paintings, sketches have other locations on the back of them. The detail that is necessary sometimes to document what is my own created "works of art" is more than I think to add at times. I do own some land in the state of Georgia however.

*footnote: I also have a daughter named Jennifer who is married to Aaron and they have five children under the age of 14.
