I slipped in on line just for a moment. Thanks for the name, I knew I would recognize it if I saw it again.

It is heart warming to read about the love between you and this extraordinary woman. Interesting how your love behind the image is what gave it such an arresting presence.

Thank you! This is her, too: [link]
I think the most interesting art you can do will always revolve around the people, places, and things you love them most...

She has very defined facial features. I really like the shadows mixed with the nose, mouth and eyes that seem to stand out individually.

Hi

I have featured this deviation in my journal as a thumbnail because I like it and want my watchers to see it.

If you object to your work being displayed in this manor - I have every respect for you and will remove it as soon as I receive a note from you asking me to remove it.

Keep up the really great work.

Andy

I wonder why i've never noticed this one before...

anyways, this happens to be one of my new favs i think. I love her soft, shiny hair, her expression, and especially the light and how it plays around her skin.

very nice.

Thanks, Lauren-- I think this is the highest contrast pencil piece I've ever done-- I want to revisit that approach at some point, but it's tough to find the right subject matter for it...

SRaffa In reply to Rubius [2008-06-20 03:57:47 +0000 UTC]

Kind of, yeah-- I mean, I'd been obsessed, and I'd been infatuated-- I'd been passionately involved. I'd never had that sense of stepping outside of my own pelt before, though; that sense that someone else's happiness was more important to me than my own-- that was how I finally knew what was happening to me...
