What a beautiful, wistful portrait. Your drawings really show such a fine eye. I especially like how you caught the candle glow in the upper portion of the drawing.
Thank you, Bonnie. I was pleased with how this turned out. This was one I knew was going to work as soon as I put down the first long strokes blocking out the figure. I find it interesting how, often, one can just "feel" that something's going to work, at a very early stage.
I'm a painter (and writer and Spanish instructor) living in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. I studied classical art in an ARC (Art Renewal Center) school, Colorado Academy of Art, full-time for two years, in order to benefit from the rigorous atelier-style training. I am currently dedicated to exploring abstract and semi-abstract art, working in oil and also in soft pastel. I firmly believe that all human beings are creative, whether or not they have yet found an outlet for the innate creative urge, and that the creative arts are the highest form of human expression.
