Lady of the Woods

I have been sick....and just want this horrible feeling to go away. So in between coughing, sleeping and more coughing and being tired of coughing I have been working on this one. Many thanks to my model and beautiful friend Jenn ifer Singleton

You've done a beautiful job despite your illness. I hope you are better. The hint of green in her hair is a very nice touch, and the details in the shadow and light with all the twinkles is fantastic. I love all the eyes in this.

Chris Pritchard 10 Apr 2006

This is a really nice piece. The little details make it. Funny enough I've been sketching around and trying to figure out a piece in my head that's somewhat similar to this that I also have been calling Lady of the Woods. Great work Renata.

Marcel LorAnge 09 Apr 2006

Ooops sorry for getting here late but I love this piece and I'm crazy bout owls so I truly enjoy my feathered friend in the corner. And you be sure to take good care of yourself now Renata.

Kirsten Talmage 09 Apr 2006

The half-hidden faces are wonderful. I think what is so appealing about your work is the subtle, limited pallette. Beautiful work on the owl, as well!
