Commissioned piece for Elfwood artist. Done
mostly in pencils, except the border which is done
in acrylic. Keira Knightley (Pirates of the
Carribean) used as refference
I love the soft use of the unusual color, pinkish purple, it makes this very unigue , Renata! with the gray scale and the blknwht this comes across as subtly appealing. Your modeling and shadows are perefect. 143 comments tells the story of your fine skills and dedication to your art. I admire your work and the honor you give to the profession we call ART!!! Thank you so much for being kind to me, I am thrilled to see that you have spent some time viewing my work. I have not been around lately the last year or so because I do not have my own computer anymore and can not find access to the net like I used to. Lots of changes in the past year or so in my life and many trials, Renata! But I have never forgotten you and your influences. You are loved and I can see why, it is your spirit of beauty and your comforting heart along with your creative genius that draws the world to you...so much more than I can say. Your love shines in your work and all you do, I can see a light, a fountain of faith poured out upon these pages. Very amazing, Renata! I hope that the Savior blesses you greatly and eternally and your Dear family. Sinseerly Christine

Wow...I'm glad I caught this. "Pirates of the Carribean"...One of my favorite movies....waiting for the sencond one to come out. She was great. Such beautiful work Renata.
very nice job (as usual) Renata. You have a very sure stroke and have a very defined style. If you have a chance...take a look at Barbara Jenson's portfolio...amazing artist.
wow-that's totally beautiful! you really captured the stance and attitude-when you can draw a person and have them communicate to you without words, well, that's what you did-and that's something-considerable skill at work here....
