heee, I LOVE comments, of course I'll respond to ever single one left on my page : D you are so nice for always commenting!

It's so great when you're starting out and unsure of how people will react to your work to hear good feedback. I hope there will come a time when I am drawing so much that I won't GET the chance to respond to each and every comment, but now while I can, I love to : )

It's amazing. It's all white roses though! Wasn't there a single red rose in the song? (have to dust off cassettes (yes...cassettes)). Will you exhibit this piece in September? You should!

I think all the roses were red in the song actually, and I always imagined the girl to have red hair too. But titles are so hard to come up with.. Briar rose.. white rose.. : P It just seemed to fit.

Yes, I think this one will definately be the last for the show, it was a choice between it and the two others of the same model (the youngest daughter, and the proposal)

Aw, I love that song. I have always been intrigued by tragic stories...

Wonderful colours. Her skin tone is perfectly executed.

I always leave the skin to the third-last element I complete.. it can be so tricky!!
