The view that I have of this beautiful young woman is that the face and hat lacks detail. Further the jacket she is wearing lacks detail

    Hey Bruce, I want to thank you. I would so love for you to clarify what you mean by the face and hat lack details. What kind of details would you like to see. Oh yes, and her jacket lacks detail. She isn't wearing a jacket.

This is amazing. The shading, textures and likeness are exquisite! It flows so beautifully and is positioned well. Very nice! Thanks for sharing!

Comment from Susannah Lord


Hi Linda! Two things: first, you have captured Marilyn's eyes here, which you know I love. I relate to her not as a star but as a woman who I feel was exploited for her natural, God given beauty and innocence for sure. I think her emotions were "played" with by a lot of rich and famous men. Including, sadly, the Kennedy's. Your work is superb as usual. The light and contrasting shadows are just wonderful. I have to say this is probably my second favorite of your works with Jesus reclining as the best ever! The second thing; Congratulations on winning your latest award. You certainly deserve it.

Comment from OLIVER23


I think you outdid yourself on this one. The look is quite tender and innocent as you describe and the tones you used in the shadow really accent this so well! I think it´s the best I have seen of your portraits. Bravo!

    Jesuel, thank you. 6 stars is humbling. Your opinion matters so much to me, as you truly know art.
Comment from SteveANH


I really like all of your pencil works. The shading, to me, is simply amazing. It has all of the detail and depth of a fine art photograph. The special attention you pay to the eyes is what makes this art really connect with me as a viewer.

Bravo!
