Hi Maureen - I've been busy with the holiday. I hope I have not missed many (if any) of your post.

What jumps out at me when viewing this piece "The Look of Wonder" is the amazing detail you have achieved through highlights and lowlights in the lips, eyes and hair! This is a stunning piece! That small mole (beauty mark) adds to the essence of this young lady. Her expression is perfect for the title of the piece. Beautiful!

Comment from Molly Torsvik


Positive souls
Not sinkable
On path
They not ask much
But give most in life
Not hunting chance
As prey
But they breathe
The scent of life
In peace
They spell
The bless
Of god
Smile brief
Beautiful souls are
Like bee
Bearing honey
In a Pedant heart
Of beauties
Imparting
Secrets in nature splendor art
Look and wonder
Like a child
Life is so brief

A very impressive portrait work. The use of varying line thickness adds depth and dimension, making the artwork feel dynamic and alive. Well done! Thanks for sharing!

A lovely drawing of a beautiful woman looking with awe and wonderment at something taking her interest. The detail is exquisite and promotes such emotion.

Love the well-defined textures of the facial features especially those lush eye lashes, full lips, sculpted nose and hair. I can see a product of an expert hands in drawing. The shading really defined those expressive eyes. A pretty dramatic look. Great expertise in drawing, excellent concept, and the framing fits well. A masterpiece.
