Wow Joel, what a fantastic review. Thank you. And thank you for the 6 stars.

Comment from snowblaze
Ummm... ya... that looks JUST like me when I'm sleeping!

Excellent rendition... I think the hands give away the impression of the relaxation of sleep -- therefore making the drawing "credible" in many ways.

The night. Sleep. ...definitely in this drawing ...the suggestion of a (not blown) rose... nightfall.

Sometimes less is more. Without facial expressions the viewer is left guessing. This adds great drama. Why the rose. Why the blouse open.
What is she thinking.

Very well done. This kind of art always gets my attention and interest.

You have a history of outstanding work.

Comment from Raoul D'Harmental
Hi Linda,

This is brilliant and the absent face enhances this image and adds a bit of mystery. The way she's toying with her hair suggests she's a coquette but perhaps it highlights an inner anguish. Very well done, Linda! R
