Oh Irene, you’re always the first one off the mark…. that’s lovely!
I think the uploading process has smoothed out her face a bit, the actual painting is a lot more rough around the edges!!!!
Corinne Pouzet
Oups ! j’ai failli – l’ouvrant – me cogner à cette dame tellement elle semble vivante !!
Oh veines du cou et la couleur du visage, et l’expression aussi ! on voit même qu’elle a les dents gâtées…c’est fou ! le motif de sa tenue aussi, bien travaillé…
Le fond que tu as choisi s’accorde très bien au costume…Bird, tu m’épates à chaque pastel
Colombe Cambo... replied
Elle a une bonne bouille, pas vrai? On a envie de l’embrasser.
Thank you my loyal sister, you’re always saying really nice things…..
