You have a wonderful porfolio Benjamin, I particularly like this work the way you have captured the girls right hip and so softly blended and suggested her ribs, congratulations.
That made my night Richard! Yes, I like how the flesh seemingly ‘falls’ off her in this one, thank you for a wonderful compliment. :)
I love the line of the shoulders, and the hair gathered….it’s a pose that suggests to me contemplation, with a weft of sadness coiled through it. As usual, you’ve managed to convey so much in your beautiful strokes. And the title is perfect.
Hope all has been well in your world since we last spoke :-)
I really don’t know if it’s possible ( I get the feeling if it is you would know ;)) to get a warm chill but that’s what went tingling down my spine after reading your comment, so thank you lovely Miss Musk.. Your skillful comprehension really helps me get the essence of a drawing and it makes me feel worthwhile, like I’m touching someone. So thank you and thank you endlessly, I am very grateful and humbled by your beautiful compliment.
I’ve been good thank you… back from holiday in Cambodia, putting some ‘earth’ in the spirit. Have you had a good holiday season?
