This is a portrait of artist Leigh Karchner. You can find her work at this link: http://www.artwanted.com/artist.cfm?ArtID=9649 This portrait was done primarily in Graphite, with pencil.
I love the effect you have within this great portrait Clare. Your close-up is fantastic as well. Your nose, eye brows and eye's are super as are your long flowing whites!
Ya know, I saw this image ealier Clare and noticed something different about the eyes, but I didn't scroll down. Now I see that little bit of color that makes them stand out in the detail view. Beautiful work
