Pastel and charcoal on 12"x16" black pastel paper.
This is the second pose from Wednesday morning. I like the attitude of thought in this pose.

- Jean Spitzer
- Lately, I've been drawing from life, creating drawings, pastels and paintings that combine reality, imagination and experience, and represent my thoughts and feelings as much as external appearance.

She's of one mind and body and I think your choice of colors reflects that.
I wasn't thinking it, but as soon as I saw what Paula said I totally agreed. Well done.
I thrice Paula
Wonderful! It's probably my age, but I like that her body isn't perfect. She feels real.
I can just stare and stare at this. The rock hard look of cushions or blankets in the foreground. The body is soft in the middle, but hold its form, it does not melt.
The only way I could like this better is if it were titled, "Reclining Woman with Canine."
Excellent work, Jean!
is perfect; congrats!
charcoal and pastel
combine VERY WELL!
I loved it!!
Nice strong drawing. Great color. It interesting that you combined a relaxed pose with such vibrancy and strong delineation. I like the play.
so nice
wonderful composition, and the lighting is beautifully done. I love it.
Thanks, all.
Cafe, you are quite right. We could use a canine around here.
