Petra, this is absolutely beautiful! The skin tones are so skillfully done, and the whole painting conveys delicacy and strength at the same time. It's a really super piece!

Lovely portrait,Petra!! Sorry I'm late with my comments but I've had family dramas for most of 2012 and just getting back into stride. This portrait tempts me to take up pastels,so soft,and luminous!
