Portrait Of My Wife

First time for me to use pastel on this Rives BFK paper.
It's pricey but got it on sale.
Inspired by the style of Susan Lyon.
This is bigger than life size.

Someone said I made my wife looked sad and sick in this portrait. What's your say on this?

I think she looks thoughtful..as if she's lost someone

you have alot of talent

Nice work! I'd see it as more contemplative... I don't see sad or sick. Excellent piece, I like your technique.

This is very good. I love the effect witgh the loose blended hair into shadow. Very clever and talented.

Oh my goodness! You are so damn good! This is another piece of stunning talent. This is seriously, sweet. Thanks for sharing the portrait of your wife. I can feel how proud of you having her in your life! I have nothing to say negative 'coz all I can see is perfect!

this looks very nice. i love the way the facial features stand out!
good work!
