I love this so much! The colored pencil really makes the colors both soft and yet stand out so much. I absolutely adore the details here, the gorgeous wrap and the tartan towel! Right down to the painted toes. I love the way they stand together, it's so casual and yet obviously very loving. Wonderful work!

Everything about this is fabulous, from the colors to the details to that look they are exchanging...
And, like others have said, it's making me crave summer!
Beautifully done!

Look how happy they are with that shared look. It looks gorgeous and warm where they are. I love your textures, especially the grass and water.

Thank you so much! It was a nice antidote to cold and white for me when I was drawing it, too. :D

Thank you! Some pieces work equally well in black and white or color, but I really thought color was necessary here to truly give them the feel of being by the sea. It made it feel so much warmer, too. I'm so glad you liked it! :D

Thank you! Drawing this was a lovely antidote to cold and snow for me, too. I just channeled my memories of Hawaii and let Minerva and Poppy have some relaxing time in the sun. I'm so glad you liked it. :D

Well, both Minerva and Poppy are both practical women; they wouldn't dream of going away on holiday unprepared. ;D Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it.

Thank you so much! Your reviews are always such a pleasure to read. I'm glad all the details worked for you. Minerva ended up a bit more busty than I originally intended, but why not? ;D Glad you enjoyed it!

I've always thought it would be lovely to be able to step into a drawing or painting. :D Thanks so much! Glad you liked it.
