New Drawing Finally Finished

After many hours (and I mean many) of work and frustration with this drawing I finally put the pencil to rest. I am very happy and pleased with this one although when sketching it out I ran into many problems and had to re-size a lot of things over and over. But it's finished and going to the framers.

    Perhaps a beautiful and ethereal story of a time past, a peasant in repose, at peace with her daily toils...

    Yes, I agree, there is something other-worldly about her. And the look in her eyes as she looks back at you...wow! Beautiful work.
