I think I have run out of the adjectives to describe your wonderful talent!:) I like this for its classical approach. Realism at one of its best in drawing. Bravo!

Comment from Sessybon


So much to take in. A veritable feast for the eyes. Delicate roses adorn the wall, cascading over the Sleeping Beauty. One clasped in her hand and one has grown through her bed while she sleeps. The handsome Prince has already kissed her and rightly, his eyes are closed in rapture. Sleeping Beauty is awake, her tousled hair lies across her pillows where she succumbed to the spell. The real show stopper though is her dress - such intricate details, lace, embroidered damask silks, taffeta and no doubt a few rubies on her waistband. If anything, this picture is definitely a precious jewel.

I always thought that the era of long dresses and being young and pretty in a dress would be a fun time to be alive.

but it had hard times too.

Comment from shoregrass


Oh my is this romantic!! A very realistic and far from fairytale looking sleeping beauty. Yet, everything about it is magical in the sense of its beauty and atmosphere. I love how the roses, her hair and the bed all seem to be integrated into one connected entanglement. Even the prince's hair has that tousled look that seems to tie in with that feeling. The rendering of the characters is well detailed along with her magnificent dress which is exceptional. Once again there may be a different story element here because the girl is now wide awake, yet the prince seems entranced after the kiss. A neat twist. Great work once again and such fun to view and review.
