She is beautiful. I love the details in the flooring. Reminds me of my Grandma's house. The lady's complexion stands out against the darkness of the floor. The expression on her face seems like she is far away. But yet the all in photo gives me peace just looking at it.

Comment from Jean A Cormier


Perfect use of tonal gradation and composition. The wooden planks are splendid and the texture and consistency of the hard wood contrasts with the soft rendering of the ivory skin tones. She appears as if in a bride's dress. Good storytelling! jean

Comment from Doris1022


reminds me of the old masters and like the mona lisa specifically. no one knows exactly what the lady is thinking. but I am guessing she is probably wanting to get off the hard floor. that is what I would be thinking. lol

you are really making me feel like an artist wanna be. so really cool. love the wood grain and all your details you put in there. how long does it take for your to do this?

Comment from Rose Mary S


This is a truly beautiful piece. The detail is astounding, it is so finite, it has the quality of a B&W photo. Love how you captured her expression of relaxed ease, as if there is nothing or no one that could interrupt her tranquil moment. It is as if she is one with heart and breath. Beautiful!

Comment from Mara del Mar


Amazing tone of the skin and texture. Love the lighting and the facial expression. She seems feel a pleasure almost sensual in simply feel the contact of the wooden and remain relaxed there. She wait by someone? Maybe. There an empty space in the floor. As all your works, this is wonderful. Well done

This is an amazing drawing! The detail that you put into every aspect of this is striking. The elegant beauty of the woman, the contrasting depth created with the incredibly detailed floorboards. This is quite simply a masterpiece.
