Dear Jesuel, thank you so much. Your review makes me feel as though I might be doing something right.

Lina, your work is so beautiful and so well details. Amazing pencil work.

I wondered if you aren't doing much current work. I love that you are sharing your older pieces, as many have not seen them, but I'd love to see what you are producing now, must be absolutely stunning :)

I am doing current work. A lot of portraits. I reposted these because I just felt like bringing them out again. Thank you so much for your wonderful review.

That is great Linda, I am really looking forward to it :)

This is a very well done work of art! Excellent expression to draw you in and feel the emotion. If I had to nit pick I would say that I would like to see the hair slightly more different from the wood floor. Great job!!

Thank you again, Trish.

Comment from websterjames
Your art is immediately recognizable and certainly gallery worthy. The reflective and emotive expression of the subject (you?) laying on the hardwood with a timeless headband looking up as if truly seeking to "under stand" something that has grabbed her mind and body in the moment. Creative work that you share with us might invoke a poem from a poet, a feeling for the observer or a simple validation for the soul experiencing or opening up the the greater mystery of life.

What a fantastic review. And you liked the headband. Wow. Happy.

Comment from Bretislav
Obviously ran out of sixes, so five will have to do. The system should provide more sixes, for it's hard to give less to masters like you, for art of this quality.

Comment from snowblaze
wow.

I know this is done in pencil, but it's so amazing that I swear I can see color! ...her red lips, the dark brown wood of the floor, etc.

Fab!
