Inscription: The Wolf and Ridding (sic) Hood

This is a preparatory drawing for an episode in Little Red Riding Hood. But it does not resemble any of the six completed pastels. Paula’s version of the story has the mother taking revenge on the wolf. I am dressed as an athlete or for the

gym in two of the pastels, and also in drag as the grandmother in another. Lila plays the mother and, Gracie, Paula’s grand-daughter, plays Red Riding Hood. I think this was originally commissioned by Karen Wright at Modern Painters magazine.
