Wow! I think this one is the best yet.
It's simply stunning in every detail. This beautiful young woman is right out of the 1920s , a woman of high class so exquisitely drawn with perfect detail from her beautifully coiffed hair, expressive face to her gorgeous dress with delicate roses at the décolletage of her body.
Love the colors that give this whole image the look of an old photo.
An amazing drawing Linda.

A cyber 6 of course. Fabulous drawing and art, by you, as usual. I really like the shadows and light, the details, and the eyes. Awesome.

Comment from websterjames


wonderful, wonderful,
What I see often in your art associated with the feminine is that ever so slightly turned head with an eye that says it knows without having to say a word , maybe classic art vibrates with our deepest experience of Truth (capital T)... it just is.. your work is timeless and True

Comment from Sean T Phelan


Hi Linda!
She looks especially pretty,my friend,in a nicely intriguing and (to me! ) very sexy and mysterious way! You've given her an enjoyably ghostly look and that's something I really like!
A truly Nice Show here,Linda!

    Sean, wow, you can see ghostly? Maybe that is something that I never considered. You have brought a new perspective to this work. I am intrigued and amazed. Thank you for this new idea.

You have achieved the look of beauty in this drawing. Beautiful details in the face, especially her eyes. Lovely dress finished off with the flowers, and nicely framed by the highlights.

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel


A wonderful portrait kind like middle age style approaching the old masters in composition and expressive genuine life style - fantastic perspective, I love the side view as it allows us to see the excellent styled hair - a very romantic energy you created in this portrait , your technique in pencil is spot on in details, excellent shadow and light application, I love the dark corner and kind like natural light influx you applied to let the beautiful face shire out - - fantastic detail work , the skin is a highlight in purity and well composed in natural nuances - excellent initial impact , great job, thanks for sharing

Comment from tdragonfly


What a lovely subject. She is so real looking. Great expression of the eyes and the mouth. Sweet, innocent but just a hint of devilishness. A stray hair here and there adds to the realism. Just a little sassy cock of her head. The light illuminating her face. But perhaps a little more light to the right side. A very striking effort. Thanks for sharing.
