wanted a feel of calm contemplation- cant help feeling the figure is too "made up" though in the sense that it lacks reality...

sweet draw, Chris. I LOVE the shadows maybe most of all. It's so solid where her right foot hits the floor. very nice.

thanks! I know what you mean! Im over the file size so I wont revise!

I find myself waiting for the curtain to start moving softly with a gentle breeze passing through then I am captured by the figure and her tranquility. I notice the book and wonder what has captured her thoughts. I love the colors, the lines, and the patterns in the draw and her bare feet give a feeling of warmth and comfort. I love the overall effect of this one. Personally, I don't think you need to change a thing.

thank you Tammy! the only revision I was thinking of was possibly birds flying by the window- but they would disturb the tranquility....

One of your best!
