Just wonderful, Elena! I really love the moment’s you capture. Stunning and even more vulnerable-seeming in pencil.
Thank you, Richard. I don’t draw nearly enough, so it feels special to do so.
Exquisite pieces. Yes, those glorious soft, dense blacks of the 9+ pencils. Such lovely work. You inspire and move me, as ever!
xoxo,
Kathryn

first I thought that’s a dream…than I thought no… this is real….and the opposite way again… but what I see now it’s definitely amazing ! Good work, hats off to Elena!
So much appreciated:) Thank you!
Contrasting portraits but, most importantly, each conveys the essence of the subject quite beautifully. There is a tactile dimension to the range of tones and textures and, as ever with your portraits, the eyes reveal so much! I’m sure you and General Kimberley are going to enjoy a very fruitful relationship!
Thank you so very much, Louis!
Excellent drawings, Elena. Good to see you again
