Thank you all !
It's so fascinating to watch a child sleeping, the quietness of the room, the funny positions, the emotions going through the face. You can stay hours watching... I was just hoping that this fascination would appear in the drawing also.

It definitely appears in the drawing--it looks like, if somebody were to wake her up at this moment, it would be quite a task!
Impeccable rendering (your usual level) and fantastic foreshortening of that arm! Beautiful!
Good luck also on your workshops. Water gilding is an age-old craft and it is nice to see it being passed down to others so it doesn

Thank you Enzie and Carlos !
Carlos, yes water gilding is the oldest way of gilding, the most difficult and which certainely gives the most beautiful results. I learned it with a man who was the third generation of gilders in the same family, and their tools, techniques and material hadn't change...

Marina, it really is extraordinary! You have pared this down to its essence. In fact, you do that in all your work and that is one reason it speaks so powerfully.Even when there is no allegory or implied story, there is still a meaning that needs no articulation because we all can relate to it.

Marina, your work is always an inspiration to me. Your technical skills with your soul singing through your work when you capture a moment is always a pleasure to view. I would love to see these in real life one day!
