Who knows why we do the things we do? Here's a sketch of Andrea Di Niccolo's 'Faith' (ca. 1495-1500, tempera on panel), a photograph of which appeared in the March 2005 issue of ARTnews. For this I used pen and gouache on patterned paper
. How easily I'm amused.

I really love this. You have captured a type of vulnerability in her and the way she looks to be behind the pattern of the paper? (the gold shapes)...Makes her look as though she is imprisoned in her feelings. Her expression is one of wonderment or angst. I truly love this one Laura!

It's ethereal and delicate, and just exquisite. I love the pattern behind the main image. The colors are soft and the red and green work well together. :)
