Last Sunday we went to see a musical called "Oliver" which was based on Oliver Twist. The theater is a small old building that seats about 50 and it was full.
The play was very fun and well done. "Oliver" was played by a cute third grade boy and he did a great job. "Nancy" was played by a high school senior and she also did a great job especially singing.
I really like how this turned out with the dirt on his face and shirt and looking kind of tattered, just like the orphan, Oliver.
When I got home I immediately downloaded the book "Oliver Twist" to my iPad and want to read it again.
I am linking to Paint Party Friday also, been way too long since I was there. Always lots of creativity over there to see and enjoy.

Great portrait of Oliver. I don't think I have ever read the book.
I dont think I have ever read it either.. Good job.
You know me....the "Literary Diva"...a-ha-ha! I read this and all of Mr. Dickens works...this one is a favourite. I know the musical too...but the only song I can think of at this early hour is *Consider Yourself*... (I think that's the name...)
Your sketch is spot-on... it truly looks like Oliver!!! I continue to be inspired by all the great work you are doing... you, Cris and Lynn are the "Sketch Muses"!!!
Love,

Absolutely charming your Oliver!
Happy Paint Party Friday too!
I've met lots of fun new artists (to me) there in the past few weeks!
Great job! I love your Oliver. I have yet to read the book. Hope you have an enjoyable weekend and happy painting!
Great interpretation of Oliver....I love Dickens. Happy PPF and enjoy the weekend, Annette x
I remember acting in Oliver when I was in 6th grade! Wonderful Painting! Happy PPF!
Teri,
This is such a lovely sketch. He sure is a cute little boy,
My highschool put on this play back in 1969 or there abouts, the songs are great, I think.
Enjoy reading Oliver Twist!
I love Dickens too, and btw I believe it's the 200th anniversary of his birthday this year.

Dickens is a master at creating unforgettable characters. Great sketch of Oliver. I can't imagine any third grader I know pulling off that role.
This is a darling sketch and you have captured what looks like a rather naughty Oliver... I love student productions so much....xx
What a wonderful version of Oliver, so charming!
This is a wonderful sketch Teri, the face is so expressive. I love this story/play...sounds like a fun evening.
Beautiful sketch, love your watercoloring! Dickens is awesome, my favorite: Great Expectations. Happy PPF !
