    Oh Jean, I covet the top one. I love everything about it -- the colors, the pose, the lines, the grace.

    I too am a big fan of the lavender--the pose and the color-- but I like the charcoal too.

    More than wonderful color. The lines, thick and bold portray the weariness and drama very well

    Thanks, your highness PI. Shopping bag is one of my favorite supports for drawing, also gessoed cardboard for painting.
