Mary,

Very nice work...I am impressed by the overall light and atmosphere, and the movement in the figure is very well achieved.

I also work from a combination of fotos I have taken of people and/or sights of interest and quick pen or pencil sketches I have made on the spot and although I never worry about if they (the figures) are identified in the final work, I always alter or modify them greatly from the photos. The photos are there as a very loose reference and many times I will draw the figures separately before starting the final work, trying out different poses and then maybe even altering hair colour or style and also clothing. The result is a very "general" figure that could be the girl that was seated on the table beside you or just about any other figure. Don
