She is very young, almost a child. She seems absorbed in her prayers to Mary the virgin bride of good, adapting her hope and faith. The light of heaven seems to bless her. It elevates her from the surrounding darkness into the protection of God.
Your drawing is perfectly composed and rendered. Your attention to detail is impressive. Proportion and perspective are exact. I admire your flawless shading. The tight framing is adequate. The composition is balanced.

With fine draftsmanship and handling of the medium, you have created a lovley drawing which is classical in its composition. The harmony created by the atmospheric light play a supporting role. You seem to draw inspiration from your thoughts, and experiences. Well done! Good luck!

A very beautiful and soulful image of Mary the Mother of God. Her face in prayer is so sincere and touching. The light and shading is wonderful. The folds in the clothing are so painstakingly detailed. A beautiful representation of Christmas Art, Linda.

A very good entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and appropriate composition offers us a good view of the praying Mary. The lighting you created works very well and I like the pose you gave her. Well drawn and good luck!

Hi Linda!
Once again you've presented us with a genuinely beautiful drawing,my friend!
Being a Druid and a Neo Pagan myself the mention or depiction of anything that has to do with 'christmas' can stir me up but since I'm also an Artist I can easily appreciate and admire the masterful talent of another Artist like you,my friend!
Your drawings are OUTSTANDING! : D
