Thom - It is good to see that you are back at it!

The prisma pencil on smoky blue paper does have a nice 18thC feel to it. Quite elegant.

I'm curious - what was your subject matter? It looks like it is from a Greek statue.

Good job!

Quite elegant.

I thought so too.

the subject is a statue of Aphrodite

Good job!

The one I was reading about is close, but not quite it. Still, it does show that you have really caught the right mood.

This statue is known as the Knidian aphrodite.

It is surprising what you can do with only a couple of colors.

Thom does have this "statue" right at the point where it looks like it has started to "come alive". Nicely done, Thom!
