Lincoln sketch, 1984
I'm listening to "Teams Of Rivals", by Doris Kearns Goodwin, which led to the most recent movie, "Lincoln", in which Daniel Day-Lewis got an Oscar for Best Actor.
I have always had a great respect for Lincoln.
Back in my college days, I walked into Life Drawing, and there he was, in all his glory, Abraham Lincoln!
I got goose-bumps, my heart quickened, and tears filled my eyes.
He was an actor, doing a one man show.
He sat and we drew. He told us the stories about Lincoln.
No matter where he traveled, Europe, Asia, Africa, even if he was in his jeans and a sweat shirt, people recognized him.
How cool is that!!!! That was the best Life Drawing class ever!

I only wished I had gotten one with him smiling...he had a great sense of humor....
