I DREW THIS PICTURE OF BETTE MIDLER IN 'THE ROSE' WHEN I LIVED IN L.A. . I HAD NEVER SEEN THE FILM BEFORE BUT HEARD SHE WAS AMAZING IN IT SO I BOUGHT IT AND SHE WAS! YOU DON'T WATCH IT AND SEE BETTE, SO SEE THIS TRAGIC ROCK SINGER. THE ROSE IS KIND'A LIKE HOW BRITNEY SPEARS IS NOW. KIND'A CRACKED OUT AND TRAGIC.
I TRIED TO CAPTURE THE GOLD DRESS SHE WEARS AT THE END OF THE FILM AS BEST I COULD FROM PAUSING THE DVD. THE FACE DOESN'T QUITE LOOK LIKE MISS MIDLER, BUT I NEVER REALLY TRY TO GET THE FACES 100% PERFECT WHEN I DRAW A CELEB. I ONLY WANT TO SUGGEST WHO IT IS SO THE VIEWER GETS THE IDEA. I AM NOT A CARICATURIST AFTER ALL.
I HAVE ALWAYS MEANT TO COLOR THIS IN BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT. MAYBE SOME DAY I WILL AND I'LL RE-POST IT FOR ALL YOU LUCKY KIDDIES OUT THERE.
PEN AND INK ON BRISTOL BOARD.
