Ethnic sketches of India & Brazil=BRIC countries

I am putting here 2 more of the ethnic series of sketches I have drawn first freehand in pencil and then painted. These are watercolors. The first sketch is supposed to resemble India's prime Minister as I saw his photo in news. I altered it some because I do not want to make exact images of people with my art . The second sketch is supposed to resemble Brazil's President Rouseff, who happens to be one of the few women Presidents in the world.  I painted Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel to the best of my ability a few years ago. I have a special Picas album where I am adding the ethnic paintings and sketches I create for the world to see. I have not labeled them all yet, but maybe you as viewer can tell which country they represent? More..

"India's Prime Minister" ethnic sketch by Gloria Poole; Nov 2013; watercolors

"Brazil's President" sketch-ethnic series, created by Gloria Poole; Nov 2013; watercolors

I added this sketch of Brazil's President to this blog because I added it to another blog of mine [https://gloriapoole.blogspot.com] a few days ago and it was ripped off that blog by cyber-criminals. I have since made changes to my isp account and hardware and to my accounts trying to secure them; and rephotographed this sketch to add it here. 

Copyright: I Gloria Poole own the copyright to all art I ever created or do create in the future. I have never assigned a waiver of all my copyrights to any one; and am not likely to ever do that. I Gloria Poole am also known as gloria as I sign my name that way on paintings, and as Gloria Poole on sketches some of the time, [when I absent-mindely sign my full name on them]; and as gloria0817; gloriapoole; gpoole817; gloria.poole; gloria_poole; gloria-poole; gloriapoole1749; gloriapoole.RN; and on one profile that the "system of yahoo " created for me as Gloriapoole; and with other variations of my real born with name of Gloria Poole.

I am putting three more of the sketches I created on this blog of mine. It's fun for me too because I see how much progress I have made through the years as I have drawn sketch after sketch.

Three sketches by Gloria Poole

watercolor sketch of white paint [horse] by Gloria Poole

graphics created art Penguin by Gloria Poole; signed on computer with digital ink also

acrylic sketch "Imitating Renoir" by Gloria Poole

I am adding three sketches I created with different mediums. The top one of the white paint is watercolors on paper; the second one is computer created by me {Gloria] using a graphics program & signed that way also. And the third sketch is acrylics with brush on sketch pad. I am not sure why the 3rd one looks so grainy when enlarged to original size. There is some thing strange about this blog.

Micah painting inspired by scripture painted by Gloria Poole

"Micah" painting from Bible scripture; by Gloria Poole; 2006

This is a painting I painted in 2006 because I was living in Colorado at the time, and had met a real Indian there as casual acquaintance, who told me that the Indian reservations were not a good way of life, and that it was very hard for them.  So, I was trying to depict a fading way of life.   It is NOT a real person, but a "ghost".   Also, there is a scripture in Bible that inspired it. I moved to Missouri on Oct 31, 2009 after second divorce that happened in Colorado, but I was born in state of Georgia. 

I also added more paintings I painted to my blog at: https://gloriapoole.blogspot.com; and also https://gpoole817.blogspot.com.  I add art to my blogs sort of with a purpose in mind usually. But most of the time, the "people" I paint are not real people. 

I am a white, single, Christian woman, and I have painted about 20-25 "ethnic paintings" of different make-believe people in native costumes, and sometimes with native props to attempt to show different cultures and ways of life.  The ethnic paintings are intended to foster good will between races. GOD is Love to all people according to John 3:16. KVb.

Anxiety Oil Painting by Gloria Poole

Anxiety portrait by Gloria Poole aka Gloria; surreal painting; 2013 in oils on canvas

This is an oil painting on canvas, that I Gloria Poole, painted to attempt to show with surreal art,  the stress and anxiety really old people feel if they do not have good family support. I suppose this is sort of modeled after a man who was my neighbor when I was a child, and whose wife died about 20 yrs before he did, and who seemed sort of lost whenever I would go his house to say hello to him.  It is sort of as I remember he looked; but he died when I was in high school so I don't think it's exactly like him but he did have a shock of white hair.  Obviously this painting was sitting lop-sided on my chair as I photographed it. I didn't realize it until I had added it to this blog. The light green places represent threats/ fears he had and that I know as Registered Nurse that all very old people experience. You can figure out the eyes.

Also, I added batches of the ethnic paintings I painted over time span of 2006-present to several other blogs of mine yesterday. You might enjoy seeing those. Each blog is unique and each contains art I created all through-out archives as well. Visit those sites of mine at:

Another one of my newest ethnic paintings

One of ethnic paintings I Gloria Poole, painted. It's North Korean oil on canvas.

This is one of the ethnic paintings I painted in the past few weeks to be included in the ethnic series of paintings that I began in yr 2007. This is oil on canvas size 16 x 20 I think --didn't measure it, and the blank  canvases were a gift to me for my birthday from my oldest daughter Jennifer.  And I painted them all up quickly because I had been drawing sketches and cartooning for a while & wanted a change of pace.

I have painted about 26 ethnic paintings in all now including the six in the past month. Many of them have been posted on the web in other places. I hope someday to display all of them in one room or gallery. Also, note, that the paintings are not of real people. I paint them from my head in most cases. Sometimes, I use a costume I saw on a thumbnail in magazine as the clothing, but I do not try to paint real people as a general rule. Part of that is my concern about making "graven images'  which is forbidden in Bible. 

Also, I added another  oil painting of ethnic series that I painted in that same batch to my blog tonite, at http://gloriapoole.blogspot.com.  I add my photos of art I create intermittently to a variety of blogs. I added some blogs just for cartooning & all who have seen those, also like them. One of them is http://cartooning-by-gloriapoole.blogspot.com.
