I had trouble figuring out how to post this with a photo...I hope this works okay. This work incorporates two images from the museum. The statue is probably recognizable to most of you. The face is from the Bougereau painting. I had drawn a face of the younger girl, but found she wasn't quite right for this. Luckily it turned out that the same painting I had gotten her image from was on our handout from the museum and had an older girl whose face worked for my purpose. I find myself adding meaning as I go...I guess it is supposed to be the other way around. I like drawing people and I like there to be some mystery and ambiguity about my work.

This is a wonderful start. I like doing faces and anatomy, and your values are very good. Keep up the good work.
Your implied shapes and strong contrast give the piece a dynamic dimension.
Nice start I agree!
You are capturing the mystery and it looks like a delightful start.
