Haven't been able to draw or paint much lately but I've finally finished this one. It's of one of my students - when I first saw those big, fantastic Picasso eyes, I knew I just had to do her portrait.

I've stared at this one way too long. There are a lot of little things that bug me about it, but it's only my second one, so I'm ok with it.

Pastel on Art Spectrum paper, approx. 18" X 23".

Wow, I feel as if I could reach out and touch her. Beautiful!

Very nice David. I like the eyes as well.

Wow David! I love the simple graceful presence you have imparted in her. She is captivating and wonderful.

Gosh, I should be meeting you in a week and a half! I look forward to that.

Yet another wow! You are a natural. Please tell me, (even if you have to lie) that you are struggling badly and not pulling these off as easy as Lisa. I'm so jealous, it's not even funny.

I've never felt a sense of hate and respect for someone before. ;)

Seriously, it's incredible, I wish you worked more often!

Really , really lovely, there is such a feeling of tranquility about her, and a lovely glow to her skin. :thumbsup:

Very beautiful David. Those transitions are velvety smooth.

Simply stunning!
 

David, this is absolutely gorgeous, solid and hauntingly real.

I'm wondering, did you work from life?

WOW AGAIN. Just beautiful. Your handling of this medium is amazing.

Lovely, David. See you next week.
