Marilyn Sculpture

Last Wednesday morning, I sketched this giant 25-foot-tall, 15-ton Marilyn Monroe sculpture by Seward Johnson at Latham Park, Stamford, CT.  I think this, along with other human-like sculptures scattered throughout Stamford, are there only through the summer.  We can count the number of summer days left, right?   I sure was glad to have done a quick 1-hour sketch of Marilyn's iconic pose.  This was done in direct watercolor with the intention of maybe adding lines and more color later.  However, I'll leave it as is.  Note:  I chose this vantage point because Marilyn's legs framed the First Congregation Church marker sign.
