Another wonderful drawing. You are so very talented. Your drawings look more like classic photographs. Your lovely model has a Grace Kelly look with her feminine pose and lovely hair.

This is very beautiful, brilliant composition and total perfection in the detail and shading. As you say a beautiful maiden in repose waiting for her prince charming!

Very romantic setting! I like her dress very much. Her pose really makes you think she is resting. Her expression says she is dreaming of something wonderfull. I like it very much.

like the muted background with the darker shades love the way you have captured the skirt & bodice of the dress in such detail the hands & arms with shadow & light ( light like the touch of the pencil to paper) The hair the face every detail so emotional & elegant the case lounge Just great work .So what gallery is it going to be shown in ????Thank you

Comment from Sessybon


I saw this beautiful drawing a few nights ago and couldn't bring myself to review it then as I was tired and wouldn't be able to give it my best attention. I am still speechless because this is such a lovely rendition of the girl on a chaise longue. Her delicate features and enticing pose are totally captivating. The dress is drawn so well to convey the folds of material on the bodice and 'frothy' skirt. You are a wonderful artist and if I had a six ... it would have been yours.

Looks as though she has just come out of a swoon as they said in the olden days. Excellent artwork to achieve such great light and shade with a pencil.

What a lovely, lovely study this is, Linda. Your maiden has everything that I, as a little girl, admired. She is beautiful, feminine and elegant and her gown is just dreamy.

Well this one looks like the bride or mate of the other guy which did not grasp me, but in taking a better look at it from a different viewpoint, I can see how it could qualify as an artistic piece of work. They actually look like dolls instead of people.

    Really, Doll's, Really? That wasn't what I was trying to achieve in my work. Just emotion. Thank you for pointing that out to me.

    You are welcome. it really does seem that no one really gets what another artist is trying to get across. I've had that problem here myself with a few people.

    Its like everybody is stuck on stupid (me me me)

    But that should be a good thing, that we all don't think alike or see things the same way.

    Then again, maybe that's why everybody is always at war, trying to change somebody else.

    I certainly don't believe that there are humans on this earth who can tell me what to think - nor do I see anyone on this earth capable of leading me anywhere.

    I Thank God for that.

    Once people learn how to deal with their own selfish demons, then we all might be able to lead by example.
