Dianne,

This is rather nice! I love the painterly quality, and the quality you reveal of your subject. Bravo!

Dianne, I love this! The depth in the shadows is wonderful--not too dark, just transparent and full of suggestion. Because of that, and the lovely glow in the light areas, there's a strong illusion of atmosphere and spatial depth in this work.

The other thing I love is the way you describe the model. She comes alive for me. I am planning out a portrait of someone with a blonde braid, and seeing this one reminds me of how much a braid can say. Hers lies beside her elfin face in such a playful way.

Where do you find all these costumes? They are great.
