Artist's Comments

Here is one of my most recent drawings. Marilyn has been a favorite of mine for many years, this is I believe the 10th portrait I've done of her, I tried to give her lots of light and a soft dreamy look. Thank you for stopping in to have a look. ~Linda
PS:I framed this one and it's now hanging in my home where it will stay.

I can't turn off the way I think, and that's essentially who I am, who anybody is.

Not a big fan of Monroe, but you have to admit she is gorgeous--a true American icon. The work is legendary and absolutely stunning in its details (the highlights in the eyebrows, the mouth). This is work that inspires! Great job!
