And now for a change of pace. Haven't done any pencil pieces in a long time. After finishing my most recent painting (Dreamdance: Unity), I wanted to further explore that bird/mask figure in the background.
This is absolutely stunning! Aside from the fact that I have an absolute fascination with birds and with masks, the composition is lovely and the amorphous cloud shape sweeping in has such a fantastic motion to it... absolutely adore this piece
ReplyDeleteThank you Laura!
