Oh that's really very good, Margaret!! I think the shirt is marvelous - the way you have the background blue helping with the form. I really enjoy the sensitivity of your marks, and the variation between the scumbled marks (which show the paper's texture) and the more rubbed-in marks (which don't so much). It gives such a good feeling of the skin's subtle undulations. And obviously you draw so beautifully - you have such a tender sensitivity for the face. What's exciting too is that my current work has been taking on similar traits (although it's taken more like 3 months and not 3 hours to work out) and so it is very revealing to see your particular conclusions. I am so pleased to see this! Thank-you for posting it.

(I am enjoying Munch at the moment - there's apparently a very good film about him (has anyone seen it?) - so I thought I would post his Self-Portrait with Burning Cigarette (1895; Oil on canvas, 110.5 x 85.5 cm, which I thought was relevant)
