She looks beautiful. Her skin glows, her eyes shine, her hair flows like water. This is one of my absolute favourites from you. I also like the composition. It's different. Seems like she is laying down. Great work.

Thanks for you support as allways
I allways like my newest work, but I really do think this one is a step foward, laboured over the composition, been looking at that photo for ages trying to work out how to make it work.
I also sold it off the drawing board before it was finished, which is a first for me

You're very welcome! I can completely understand how this one was sold so quickly. It is a beautiful woman, beautifully drawn.

It was also the youngest daughter of the people that now own it, so I suspect that helped

I suppose you've got a point.
That still doesn't change my mind however.
It's a beautiful piece. I'd buy it if I had that kind of cash. Just wait till I get rich.

Well yeah I suspect someone else may have taken it off me if they hadn't seen it first.
My pastels are not that expensive yet, about $500-ish, which I know is more then I could afford, but yeah by the standards of art, its pretty cheap at this stage

Your prices are absolutely fair. $500.00 is a good price.
