Picking up the pencils again .. had a bad spot in the paper and was going to toss this but my daughter Juanita insisted I finish her.The spot ran along her jaw and down the viewers right...so I couldn't go as detailed as I had planned but that's okay.I have had a time trying to get a decent photo of her as well...the title..was inspired by a verse from Isaiah 60:1 " Arise,shine; for thy light is come,and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee." I just think that is beautiful : )
