Amelia Earhart

This is a series I started for my daughter Hilary, she doesn't know I started the series. I wanted to impress upon her the success of individual Women. My daughter has many talents some she's not discovered. Art and Music stand out, however being a new Mom she has little time for those things, other than what she and her husband Rob do with their daughter.

I have always been facinated about the story of Amelia Earhart. They still search for more discoveries of what happened to her and her co-pilot. I used her photo from her first aviators license from 1923 as the reference to do this pen and ink.

The plane in the background was Amelia's plane.

1923 was the same year my Dad was born

  1. A wonderful drawing, Scott! I've always found Amelia Earhart's story very interesting also.

  2. I like the theory that her co-pilot was drunk and navigated them the wrong way. Makes sense! Where did her shoe turn up? I agree--she was just magnificent! This is a beautiful drawing of her.
