I have been sooooo busy with art and non-art stuff lately, had to finish this while on vacation. It's difficult carrying around 750 pieces of pastel. Worked at night under one lamp light, it was terrible, had to go out in the morning to check for color discrepancies.

It's 24x36" on Wallis mounted on board. Thanks for looking.

Another great work Jimmie!

Thanks for sharing that. Beautiful and impressive.

Beautiful Jimmie! I especially like the mood you've created with her pose and expression.

Beautiful! :thumbsup:

Jimmie,

I especially like the asymmetry and diagonal of the figure with the symmetrical background. It really works!

WOW! You keep getting better! This is gorgeous.

WOW! You DO keep getting better! I agree with Alex about the composition.

Jimmie you must have attracted a flurry of campers like moths being attracted to a camp light! It's amazing you can get this accomplished on vacation.

That's superb, Jimmie! You make me wish I had a tan...and longer hair...and was thinner...and cute... :)

You could paint or draw in a cave with no light and it would come out beautifully.

SO nice! A new level of elegance.

This is really gorgeous, Jimmie! I love the background. So delicate. I can't even imagine painting it. The composition is brilliant!

Did you do the background from an actual wall, or is it your own invention?
