a couple of old drawings which I thought appropriate for today...

folie Bergeres..

The Folies Bergère (French pronunciation: ​[fɔ.li bɛʁ.ʒɛʁ]) is a cabaret music hall, located in Paris, France. Located at 32 rue Richer in the 9th Arrondissement, the Folies Bergère was built as an opera house by the architect Plumeret. It opened on 2 May 1869 as the Folies Trévise, with light entertainment including operettas, comic opera, popular songs, and gymnastics. It became the Folies Bergère on 13 September 1872, named after nearby rue Bergère. The house was at the height of its fame and popularity from the 1890s' Belle Époque through the 1920s.
Although I haven't been to the Folies..in the early 70's I did spend a great evening with free champagne at the Moulin Rouge another famous Paris night club..

Tamara de Lempicka..

Tamara de Lempicka was a Polish painter who spent her working life in France and the United States. She is best known for her polished Art Deco portraits of aristocrats and the wealthy, and for her highly stylized paintings of nudes.
I used a black and white photo and tried to draw her in her own style..

#PortraitChallenge Sikh Atma Singh, 1943 by John Berry.
When I saw the painting for today I thought of Michael Bates as Ranji Ram in the tv sitcom It aint half hot mum..and as I'd already drawn Windsor Davies as Seargent Major Williams ,I thought I'd put him in too...
