Gail Russell

                                                                       Gail Russell
Artwork of the week time, a pencil sketch this week, again by my father, this one would have been done in the 1940's when dad was in his early twenties.
Gail Russell had a turbulent and tragic life, it seems (click the link below the pic for more information) and died very young due in part to alcohol addiction.
I have posted this picture simply because I think it's a wonderful piece of art, despite the decay to the paper of nearly seventy years hidden in a folder
