"Speeding By"
9:42pm
Time is speeding by. I should be doing the Christmas cards, but I'm feeling distracted. I did manage to do a few minor things this morning. A posting of a painting whose location was unknown on the I Require Art community got me searching. I'd seen it before at the Met Museum, and happily found it in my files:

Woman in Profile, 1901
Pablo Picasso (Spanish, Malaga 1881–1973 Mougins, France)
Oil on paper board mounted on particle board, 20 1/2 x 13 1/4 in. (52.1 x 33.7 cm)

While searching for this photo, I came across some others I hadn't shared. The Picasso painting must have been near this Boccioni sculpture which I like to dub "Sir Speedy". I like that name better than what Boccioni called it:
MOMA also has a "Sir Speedy":

While its surroundings are plain, at least they had the sense to not have him face the window. The feng shui would be all wrong!

"Pendant Idea"
8:56pm
I made a sketch for a winged scarab pendant:

And then I worked it up into a design...
Design without the pendant top, smaller pendant version, and larger version
