Sky of Stars

who are you darling
the tilt of your head
your tender eyes
the way gentle light ignites your face 

so softly
I feel I know you
yet it will take years to see the facets of your shadows
and light
before your essence is revealed wholly

oh darn maybe even a wee bit of drat
i forgot to scan the sketch of this piece


pretty please my Sunday Sketch friends

forgive me for not sharing the sketch

I actually sketched her months ago and came across it recently and thought to paint her

painting was a learning experience 

each step of the way
this color
that color
layer up layer

light shadows

and 

i look at her

this lady who is kin of stars

and want to know her

for there is something lovely in her spirit

do you ever have thoughts similar about your art?
