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.

  1. 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

  4. Stephanie, this is truly gorgeous!!!So Interesting. What hardness of lead did you use and what paper? If you don't mind, I just love the textures you are getting, but then you are remarkable in everything you do. God Bless.
