Sketches for Pregnant Woman Scuplture in pencil, watercolours, charcoal, and watercolour wash.

Taken from and inspired by various images of venus figures, such as the Venus of Willendorf and pregnant women, from personal experience and general research of library books and the internet.

For further information, see witcombe.sbc.edu/willendorf/ and www.arthistory.sbc.edu/imageswomen/. There are many books that have inspired me, such as the excellent Ancient Mirrors of Womanhood by Merlin Stone.

Inspired by/copied from postcard entitled 'The Heart of Saturday Night' (1977); photographer not credited. If anyone knows the photographer, please let me know.

Study in charcoal. Entirely from my imagination.
