Rozsa Loves Her Red Boots

 A while back I drew this Hungarian girl in traditional Hungarian folk clothes.  Here she is making another appearance, this time in red boots.  I suppose since I have drawn her twice she deserves a name and I decided on Rozsa, which means Rose in Hungarian and is a name that is near & dear to me.  I'm looking forward to her next outfit!

    I love the sketches, Rita!
    My boyfriend is hungarian, so this makes me think of his mother and sisters as little girls in cute hungarian dresses!

    Were you watching the Hungarian win the gold medal on the pommel horse?

    She looks fab. Love her smile. I think she's about to dance :)

      I have not seen that yet...we are on major time delay here and at the mercy of the TV networks. I DID just see a Hungarian win Bronze in Greco-Roman wrestling. :)

      Thanks for your lovely comment!

    Hi Rita,
    She's gorgeous. I think every girl should have a pair of red boots. Love your Hungarian sketches. Thank you for stopping by my blog. Yes I love bats too, have loads here. Even had some squatting in my old farmhouse that I'm renovating. They have moved out since we started on the new roof. Have a great day.. :)

    I think you need to write a poem as well. "Rozsa in the Red Boots!"
