I'm not sure I can define the direction that I'm taking...[/QUOTE]
Marina, I would guess your direction will be towards success. How beautiful!

Alex,
I kept the drapery volontarily simple. I could have work it much more, going into smaller and smaller shapes, but I wanted to keep the focal point on the face. Thank you.
Claudemir,
thanks!
Enzie,
that's something I thought recenttly : If you look at the past centuries, there are so many babies represented in paintings : Jesus as a baby, angels, cherubs, cupids, allegories of something, young princes and princesses... When I looked at contemporary paintings, I was wondering why there is so few babies ( and when you find some they usually look like poor photographies)
That's a bit strange when you think about the important place of babies in our society...
Grethe,
Ha ha! That's an excellent idea! I'll try to keep it in mind.
Mischa,
thanks a lot!

Marina,
You have a masterful way of handling chalk/charcoal. I am envious. The body under the drapery is very convincing, and the face is just perfect.
Congratulations!

Thank you, Carlos.
I'm having fun with drawings. I don't have a lot of time to work these times and drawings are quickly done in comparison with paintings. And I still can make a painting from it when I will have more time, if I really like it.
I just realised that I have no title for this piece...
Someone has an idea?

A beautiful piece, Marina. Well conceived.
I would name it "Modesty."

Thanks for the suggestion, Mike.
Heidi, thank you!
I also thought to a possible title : " unveiling"
