Craving

When I read this weeks prompt, the first thing that came to mind was cake, then I thought of Marie Antoinette and that led me to all the things that she craved. I suppose she got a lot of the things she craved for......diamonds, shoes, dresses. But I also imagine she craved some things that she could never have... privacy for example. I can't even begin to imagine giving birth in a room so full of people that you pass out from lack of air.

  2. Wow--great drawing. And interesting things to think about. I think I'd much rather have privacy than cake and clothes. In this picture, she's almost smothered by all the swirls--roses, patterns, hair, etc. which really contributes to the feeling of it.
