Mike I like the overall solid-line on this work, would love to see the whole figure on this one. This work has a mood about her I like. How about a painting of this little feline temptress on canvas with leopard markings.

Michael, those are the two words that I never want to hear from my lawyer and my stock broker, but from her it sounds gooood.
I agree, a full blown pic of the lady would be great! http://www.wetcanvas.com/ubb/cool.gif I like it..

Hi Sandie,Larry and Sass...(and thank you all for your notes!!).

I've gotten a couple responses in emails about this sketch. I'm sending some new sketches to the site in France, where, btw, a few of my pieces are now up.

I've also been corresponding just recently with and artist whose drawing ability I have admired for a long while--Jack Henslee.

Both said FINISH IT!..so, today, I was using colored pencils and working to "finish it"! Will post the completed color version ASAP. Using colored pencil seems to allow me to complete something..much sooner than going with oils.

(although I'd enjoy working this one up in oil on canvas...)

Not sure if many of you are familiar with "Imagenetion" website? You may enjoy a visit: http://www.imagenetion.com

Jack's work is there, along with the work by a number of artists whose work I admire.
Fantasy, pin-up...quite a variety of work there...image sizes are fairly large, so there is some down-load time involved when looking a the larger images.
