Your link was fascinating reading (I also noticed this week's IF prompt in it ;) ). But I think there is more in need of explanation than evolution and natural selection can account for. For instance, do species change due to a conscious wish on their part to change?...Does the animal or plant, itself, perhaps direct its "evolution" through WILL?? Now that would be really interesting to find out. And Picasso...didn't he drive at least one wife to suicide? Personally, I don't know what his wives saw in him. I've been finding the links on your other blog very interesting also...Really admired the presentation given by Chimamanda Adichie. I'd never heard of her - will have to find her books at the library.
JILL: I wonder too. But in the case of humans not only are we regressing through will, but we aren't allowing other species to evolve.
Someone once told me that most women find 'creative men'such as musicians, artists, actors etc very very attractive. Probably true when you see the excitement some of them generate. I am presuming that quality combined with his fame (and wealth perhaps) made women flock to him. (Btw there's lots of links in my Seaweed Soup blog).
ROBYN: Absolutely! And that goes for not just Picasso's women.
MEGHA: Sweetie, any sentence with the word SEX in it usually looks interesting.
These are wonderful drawings. The bottom one looks more determined than bitchy to me. btw, thanks for identifying the writing on my blog. I felt like I was channelling some spirit when I was typing and it came out in a language foreign to me. A very strange feeling.
Picasso - wonderful artist, terrible man. What did he know of women, but how to make them cry?
I love how the shadows of the second drawing have transformed. It seems as though the expression is conveyed not only in her eyes, but in your handling of the charcoal. Effective.

Perhaps if Mr Picasso's women had unleashed their inner bitches more often there would have been fewer doormats.
You have such a distinct style Priya. These sketches are gorgeous as usual.
love your drawings as usual :) they are gorgeous.

The artist in praise of his glossy eyed muse is eternal!
The doormats were of His own making. !
Women should make some new quotes about men; (na, why should i be trite_)
(i don't think they care if we throw sticks and stones; it don't hurt them there.)
.
like the drawing, very old world mystic dark
Which then is Prya ?
I think perhaps a Goddess...
Certainly not a doormat.
