The...This is fabulous - I love the dark moody look! The combination of colours and background are just super. I love the expression and the pose - yes, you must be a sucker for punishment with the hands but they're perfect! I was nodding my head with each name of pencils. Nougat, Bistre and Caput Mortuum are quite unusual shades, aren't they? Venetian Red is my fave for skin!Felicity Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11145205761346733464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296259363171669867.post-28367207482663039432010-03-16T07:02:31.339+00:002010-03-16T07:02:31.339+00:00Hi Janet

Can't wait to see it finished, you'll do very well :) <br />Warm regards,<br />CarolinaCarolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03792451435794001975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296259363171669867.post-31899656867059555702010-03-16T01:10:52.499+00:002010-03-16T01:10:52.499+00:00Let me try this again.

I couldn't find the right word to describe it, but it's like you've captured what it's like to be a thoughtful, sensitive child. It's just wonderful.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05600673251180423439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296259363171669867.post-87206844547485652372010-03-16T01:03:03.561+00:002010-03-16T01:03:03.561+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05600673251180423439noreply@blogger.com
