Hi Patricia :
Your portrait is beautiful, and so especial mainly because it is so rarely feminine!
Congratulations!
Rui.

As I said in another post this is by far your best. Your values are much better now that you have incorporated some darker values. Great model and pose also. The composition works well. You are so deserving of a fine portrait with all the hard work you've put in!

Patricia, I second Kim, you can be very proud of this one. What I like most is the obvious warmth that shines from this portrait. I feel that these emotional responses to artwork are as important as the quality and technique of the drawing itself. When all are combined, the result is breathtaking. You are out of your "dryspell"!

Thank you Rui, Mike and Kim!
You have made my day! I am tickled to receive compliments on the pose because it is just what I "saw" when Christine was sitting for me. I think she is very pretty in a classic sense so I wanted a classic pose. This is the first portrait I have done from conceptualizing what I wanted, to setting up the photo shoot (after two failed shoots!!), to the final portrait (after six drawings!!).

Nice job Patricia,
Those final dark touches did the trick. They also bring you more true to the direction of the light.

Thank you Mike and Michele! I began the second portrait, Christine's husband, my son Kristopher. I am pretty excited about this project and hope I finish up with a PAIR of nice portraits.
I'm sure to be posting in critiques soon. . .
Have a great weekend and thank you so much for your thumbs up!!
