Venus

Thanks to those of you who indulged me and had a go at guessing ....... yes, I attempted to draw Botticelli's Venus.
(Click for better view)
Such a gorgeous painting - one of my favourites.
As I try to improve my drawing skills there may be more guessing games!
No groaning, please..........

B-hell! If this is an 'attempt' then don't know what you'll produce when you've perfected your arty skills!

I'm gobsmacked.

Hi Linda!
Oh, I think you did a marvelous job! She is just lovely and I LOVE your use of line.. she is beautiful! And although she was inspired by Boticelli, I'd say she is all yours! Your art is marvelous... I'm glad to have found you!

I hope you're managing to embrace this change of season. I'm so much better at accepting the end of summer than I used to be. I&...
