Finished Pastel Portrait, Maria Kovalenko Leysens


I am pretty much finished with this one. 
All except my signature. 
Sometimes it ends up too bold, so I will change it tomorrow.
I really need a shorter one too.
pastel on Canson paper

great drawing and painted so well...it's so hard to do children yet you have made it seem easy!

Beautiful job, Maria. She really has vitality.

Thank you! She is a cutie! I am happy I was able to show her energy.

First--Beautiful work--her expression and smile are full of childlike vitality-Next--I'm glad to hear that someone else is concerned about the position and/or intensity of their signature--I often feel mine is an intrusion and interfers with, even the smallest corner of my painting.It's the last thing I consider and may have to be the first

Very nice painting. She is just beautiful and I know what you mean about the shorter name...I have the same difficulty!
