Tag As FavoriteComment		1995. Thanks to the model, Jessica. The strings were made by indenting the substrate with a hard color pencil. I don't use paper for color pencil drawings, I use 2 ply acid-free bristol board with a medium tooth.

Her pinky looks very broken...that must be uncomfortable!!! Love your work tho! (the Bettie Fae was exquisite (I'm a big fan))

Got a point with the pinky! Very ingenious work with the strings... I might have to try that...12

The only thing I'd say is that the harp is leaning against the wrong shoulder, unless it is a Welsh harp, but then you'd need to make it triple strung! Plus the finger positioning is not really true - but having said that, it is a very pretty picture!

:-) D. Cameron Calkins replies: "The figure is caressing her harp, not playing it, which expains the odd way she's holding it. The original title was "Music Lover" or something. "

This is my favorite piece! There is such a feeling of serenity here, I feel peaceful just looking at it. The colors and blending of the skirt are wonderful and the flowers in the backgorund are a nice touch. Love it!!!
