Thanks to Bev for a great challenge. The reader is an image from my vast stash. I have had her on file for many moons and I am afraid I don't know from whence it came. Other scrumptious bits and pieces are from Lorie Davison at Scrapbookgraphics.
I love this, Marie! The contrast of lights and darks is so dramatic- brings much intensity to the piece. She looks like she's so absorbed in what she's reading. and I love your little whimsical touch of the little cherub (?) reading also! Happy New Year!
Marie, this is absolutely gorgeous! I agree with the comment above, the contrast of lights and darks is very compelling! Your work is elegant, whimsical, beautiful and every other adjective I could think of but don't have time or space to write! Sorry I haven't been around much, I'm scheduled for surgery on 12/30 and it's kept me too busy...so all the best to you in the New Year! I'll think of you while spending my New Year's Eve in a hospital bed! Get out the violins! Hugs, Lynn
Marie...I haven't visited your blog for sometime, and I'm sorry! Your art is so wonderful...it's a great mix of the serious and the whimsical, but it's always colorful!
