Thank you, dear friend - I'm fine, and so is my family. I hope all is well with you and yours too. :) May you have a New Year as perfectly lovely as your artwork!

Thank you! :D We are still all doing well so far...

I'm very happy to hear it! <3 <3

So glad you like it, my friend. *hugs*

I agree with Ithy! :D

Thank you, Auri! *hugs*

My dear friend, I was *just* telling hubby about your portraits of Audrey a few days ago when we were watching one of her movies and he was talking about her classic beauty. With little in the way of hints about the lovely Julia (I'd showed him some of your portraits of her quite some time ago), he had no difficulty remembering your artistry and said he'd bet you did justice to Audrey. I said of course - and then was tickled pink today to show him this new one. :D Absolutely stunning...

... as always!

 

I hope you are well and happy! *hugs*

Haha, wow... Thanks so much, dear Jen. And greetings to your husband... :D This summer, I will travel to Tolochenaz, a little village near Lausanne , where Audrey lived for 30 years. From 1963 until her death 1993. Too bad, that I was too young to realize, that this wonderful woman lived so close to me then (only 3 hours by train). She's also buried in Tolochenaz, so there's a chance to visit her grave.

Thanks again, Jen... It's always a pleasure to read from you! *hugs*

Thank you kindly, dear Marco - I wish you and your nearest and dearest a very happy 2018 too. <3

Phenomenal artwork - and I'm thrilled to see them! I was just wondering what your latest projects were, it's like someone granted me a wish today. :D

Sorry, for the long time... Sooo happy to read from you Jen... *hugs* Thank you for the kind words... Yes, at the last few months, Audrey became the main subject of my projects. It's so much fun to make portraits of her. She was just unique. :D

No need to apologize, hon! *hugs* :) She was unique, indeed ... and I have a feeling if she were living today and saw your portraits, she'd be immensely pleased and flattered.

This is so very beautiful - and I'm always excited to see your artwork in any genre, dear friend! <3

Thank you, dear Jen! *hugs* :D

Thank you, Auri! :D

Magnificent work, Marco - absolutely beautiful! I'd have recognized her immediately, even without reading the title! =)

Thank you, Jen! :D

Thank you very much!... So glad, that you are still here, dear Jen!

She is radiant, Marco! Beautifully detailed work, my friend! :D

Thank you, Bob! :D

Hi Marco, Happy New Year 2017 to you & family, my dear friend! Cheers!

Happy New Year Marco. Es guets Nöis

Hi vvk78!!! Thank you... All the best for 2017 for you too, my friend! :D

 

Hi wolfie!!! Dankeschön and ''Es guets Nöis'' for you too, my dear!!! :D

 

 

Thank you, my dear! *hugs*

I agree with Ithy! :D

Thank you, Auri! :D

Wow, this is perfection - takes my breath away, and I easily recognized her. I've always admired her striking features; she immediately comes to mind whenever I see the French word "gamine". Have you seen her in "Always", her final movie? She seemed just as youthful, lighthearted and elegant in that role as she did in her earlier films.

 

Masterfully done!

Thank you, Jen... She was such an icon and on top of my Portrait-To-Do-List. ;D It's so long ago since I saw ''Always''. Must be in the early 90's. I really have to watch it again...

Thank you, my friends! :D

I echo Hoofy and Auri wholeheartedly - phenomenal images and concept! <3

Thank you, Jen! :D

Thank you hoofy! :D

Awesome pic! :D

Thank you, Auri!!! :D

I agree with Ithy! Beautiful work! :D

Thank you, Auri! :D

For a bison, I'm old... :(

 

 

I really like the gritty look on Dalya, very realistic looking! :)

All your lovely characters take my breath away! I agree with Auri - amazing portrait, a show-stopper. <3

Excellent! Love their expressions! :)

Thank you, my friends! :D

Awesome work! :D

Thank you, Auri! *hugs*

Thank you Cheesey!!! :D

Beautiful and impressive! Me too (goosebumps). :O

Wow! :O

Brilliant work - no pun intended. Your Adriel is very lovely, and if I didn't despise the Thalmor, I'd be inspired to have a character of mine in her army.

 

Instead, I feel my Imperial characters would be loyal to Chiara, and my rebel characters to Ingrid (and the Snow Hawk, before her tragic demise).

 

Then again, there's the Amnis heiress, if she'd chosen to follow in Aurelia's footsteps ... <3

Yay... Thank you Jen! :D

Thank you, Jen!!! *hugs*

Thanks for sharing these 12 steps! A fascinating view! :)

Thank you, Bob!!! :D

Wow, this is masterful work, Marco ... as remarkable as your drawings of Anna Calvi, impressively detailed, and more beautiful than B&W photographs are to me. For one thing, it's considerably easier to pick up a camera and shoot a photo than to replicate every tiny detail of a person's face by hand.

 

Well worth waiting for!

Thank you, ladies!!!! :D

Thank you for sharing this beautiful creation! :-)
