This is an outstanding image! The model with her pose and expression. the concept of the image and the conversion to paint are all exceptional. This tells a story that is open to interpretation and is quite engaging as well as thought provoking.

Pastels are a very unforgiving art. That being said, this is a wonderful use of pastels. Values are used wisely,expression on the face and in stance is incredible. Salute,

I was burning up data on my cell, but I couldn't stop until I had examined and absorbed each one of these beautiful portraits. Thank you.
