Excellent shadows on her face and hair, Lisa. It translates well as a large thumbnail but a little soft at full size. Of course, that may easily be from the Caedes adjustment (it has happened to me a few times). Don't misunderstand--it's well-done (from a long-time artists point-of-view).

-Nik

The softness in her face was intentional, Nik. That's the way I drew her. It reflects the Art Nouveau style of the period.

I did, however, differ from the style in that I used softer, less bold, more shadowy outlines than were traditionally used in Art Nouveau.

Artist's prerogative!

This is delightful...I tried doing Art Nouveau Shortly after finishing work at a local college!...Just could not get my head interested!..but, I love the movement in this genre!..you worked a terrific post here..
I looks as if Autumn (The woman) is blowing away those leaves!...
Superb work and certainly a keeper.

What a pretty image. The young lady and the autumn leaves so well done. Her soft skin with just a touch of blush looks so nice and the whole idea of the flying autumn leaves and her billowing hair give this image that special credit that it deserves. 10/10 for this Lisa.

Lisa, Art Nouveau is called in Germany, Norway, Denmark, and my country (Holland) 'Jugendstil' as well.
Art Nouveau/Jugendstil is used in glass art, books, platelets, jewelry, furniture, architecture, and painting.
To me your wonderful artwork belongs to the latter category. It visualizes in a perfect and symbolic way the Autumn. The by you chosen colors are very appropriate for this season as well.
High level art! S+F. Thanks!

Beautifully done Lisa, I sure like your creativity, I'm in awe of your artistic talent. tigs=^..^=

True artist, this is a great example. Awesome artwork.

I like it Lisa. Another fine image and very creative.

I love Autumn - its colours, its beauty.
Your creation expresses it so well

Thank you, Lyn!

Speaking of colors and beauty ... I hope that you are enjoying your Spring and the warm embrace of Summer yet to come. I'll babysit Winter for you for a few months, but then ... I'm giving it back! :)

I appreciate you taking the time to comment on my artwork. Thank you!

This is beautiful - right into my favs

Oh Happy Birthday to you - enjoy you day (2017, 10-24) Skates

Thank you, Skates! :)

Missed this one...Faved!

Thank you, Ron! Our paths haven't crossed recently. I've missed you.

Highly reminiscent of the famous M.C. Escher drawing Woman's Face Turns Into a Carp. Or something like that. Anyway, Autumn is quite spectacular and her wild blowing hair is going to need a really deep cleaning to get all that plant matter out. Maybe a vacuuming.

Laughs at "Woman's Face Turns Into a Carp". Too good!

Hands Autumn a bottle of Dyson conditioner. Vacuum, lather, repeat ...
