Holiday homework

These are really lovely. How nice your daughter sits for you. I love how her personality shows through in these portraits. I too like that profile the best.
You have a sensitive eye and hand. Thank you for sharing these.

Marina,
Thanks for sharing all of these! There is something about that profile of your daughter that is really quite charming. Perhaps it is that you seem to have caught her sort of unawares. The only way mine will 'pose' for me now is if they're busy doing something else and don't realize I'm drawing them.

Thanks Terri,
in fact, she was watching television and I asked her to sit more or less in the same position. Sometimes, she was coming to see what I was doing, and saying " not bad, mom..." She sat still one hour, but it was the last time, now, when I propose her to watch television, she answers " yes, but you don't draw me!"
(The funny thing is now, she makes her friends pose for her!)

Hi Marina,

Immitating mommy, how sweet.

I really admire your work. They are all very beautiful and sensitive, something I am hoping to see in my work now. Thank you for showing them.

I particularly like the rear profile pose of the young man. What an interesting composition!

Thank you Donna,
enjoy the moment, when you are working, and something will appear...

Hi, Michele,
the model was completely backlight from where I was, so I turned around until my eyes told me that there was something interresting to develop.
