Lovely, Marina. Your marks are so unforced, as though you are telling us a story with great confidence and relaxation. You obviously enjoy what you do very, very much. Very well done!

Dear Marina,
You get better and better! I don't think there are adequate superlatives for a mastepiece of this accomplishment level. How you imply a full spectrum of color happening from just black, red, and sanguine, is pure magic! I love everything about the composition and content of this drawing. In response to this, one could compose a best selling child's book of verse that would celebrate this masterpiece for generations; it's that compelling! Bravo!

Marina, where were you when my kids were little? I would have loved to have such a beautiful painting of them. I must have missed this somewhere, but who is your little model? Her character is absolutely the right subject for your style. Just beautiful as always!
