I think that you accomplished exactly what you laid out. I don't know how you "pencil" artists do it. Keep coming up with original material out of your heads. I respect you all. Especially you and Sean Phelan. You two are magnificent. This is so well done. Thank you for sharing.

Linda, it has been awhile since I have been on this sight. But it looks like you are still producing great quality of work. Another beautiful drawing.

Comment from Barb Baker


Well you pulled it off Linda!!! This is stunning!! I don't know anyone else on here that can do shadows and backgrounds as well as you do. You are amazing and you should be so very proud of every single pierce you have on here. This one is certainly a winner to me! It shows the rose ever so faintly and gives you a subtle hint of how beautiful this lady is! The background is superb as all of your piece show. I wish we could give 10's because that is what you would get from me on this one.
Thank you so much for sharing this extraordinary piece of artwork!

    I can't tell you how wonderful your review makes me feel. Ah, the ego. You have definately stroked mine, and I thank you from the depths of my being.

Hi Linda this is so stunning and very nice center of interest with the four things gong on as her pose, hands playing with her hair and other hand holding on to the rose and top buttons undone. The lighting is very sensual and done so well. Shadows and lights are beautifully shown and the shading is so perfect. Excellent job!

Incredible. You certainly were successful in achieving you stated goals for this work. Magnificent lighting, the warmth and beauty the mystery of not revealing the subject fully to the viewer. This draws the viewer to participate and make their own, the identity of this exquisite work. The work is beautiful, sensual and mysterious simultaneously. A flawless work of excellence. Thank You.

Very detailed work with pencil. It is a seductive and mysterious piece. The shades and details are perfect. I know you wanted it to be night but if it was a little lighter to show off the quality of how beautiful this is. Thanks for sharing.

What a very lovely piece. I love the softness of the details and the choice of darkness for this piece. The fact that the face is not really visible lends an air of mystery to you subject. Very nice work.
