Ilaria, Carlos,
thank you for your vote of confidence!
Cynthia, Mischa, Alex,
thank you very much for your nice comments.
Technically, it was a new step for me : much more freedom in the brushwork, thicker, and the use of black in the skin tones... And conceptually, it was a very interresting subject : her name " Clarisse" come from the light, so I wanted her to be very luminous. Then the idea of the branch of an old apple tree and a butterfly appeared to me like a vision. Now it's easy to imagine the meanings of this : the family tree , the young beeing ready to fly away toward her future, or something else...
