Great work with the background!

Here we go!

Well I thought the black background was enough. But! When I seen this I thought she has a way with colors. You make this work and I must say it is very interesting that this character has exploded out of a background and is put in this environment and it is better than before. I would think you do decorating or something like that as a job. If not, then you should. The art is of nature that shows the lady and the pose as if to say with her expression of welcome or a husband home from a tired day. It is warm and cozy. A loving look as if someone has been missed. Very nice.

But six left turns will get you around the block
and back in the driveway again.

Thank you both for noticing this! I wanted you to feel welcomed with this work. Annalise is a genteel and well bred lady of stature, always the epitomy of grace and well-spoken ways even if things were not well. Hospitality was paramount in a southern household. The parlor was where guests were greeted and asked for tea or a light lunch while one waited for the lord of the manor to return to deal with whatever business was at hand. The background itself was warm and inviting, and I could think of no better place for Annalise to welcome her guests! I am glad you all enjoyed this, I had a lot of fun doing it and it turned out much better than I expected it to! Thanks for viewing!

Thank you Whazizname! Its good to see you on more, by the way. This one was a Posette also. You get the right look, hair, lights, backdrops and all the things that make a portrait like this stand out, there is no limit to what you can do with her! Again, thanks for viewing!

I've found that to do well with any figure you really need to have a passion for that figure,

...and I hope you develop that passion for yours.
