STUNNING! Patricia, this is an exceptional drawing. Masterful. You should be very proud. The only problem I see for you is that from now on, we will expect this level of mastery in everything you post! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

This drawing is terrific!

Patricia, this is just lovely and unconcerned.
A delightful work

I love it too!

I agree. I love good drawings. This is really extraordinary well done.

Thank you for your comments
 

I truly appreciate the compliments along with the support. As I am learning to paint in oils (it is taking me a loooong time!) I have come to believe in the true beauty and authenticity of drawings in their own right. I believe there is a decent market out there for drawings, not just because the price is lower than oils, but, I hope, because people are seeing the beauty in this medium.

perfection - the wonderful looseness of the hair adds liveliness and compliments the soft facial feats..thanks for sharing with us

Patty,

Like I told you in person, I can now say here on the forum - this is beautiful. Glad you finally are showing it off....Your progression to mastery has been phenomenal!
