Hi Anita and welcome back! There's no sign of a flagging spirit in this gorgeous drawing. Absolutely superb.
I love this, Anita! You have come back strong once again. I know too well how easy it is for some artists(myself)to wander off or get distracted and lose momentum. Funny how many are hurt by this and how some(you)seem to benefit from a hiatus.
good to see you working again :>) it's lovely and moody
But not a flagging talent, I see. Beautiful drawing, Anita. It's always wonderful to see you posting.
I agree, there's no flagging there, the flag is up! A very intense, beautiful work.
beautiful anita .
Yep!
