Description
*Got a letter today
in the first day of freshly mints
while outside all is blossoming
and byrds are flying
like cheerful lines colouring the air
I feel like I am happy
my friend, your words are so healthing
Where are you today?
I feel like you could walk towards me now...
In the forest you are,
deep blue seas make us be so far away
In the sun you are
histories of people who went there
from this part of the world
In my heart you are
and what we share once again
is makin me feel so warm
Got a letter
today that all is sunny
I was wondering just yesterday
If I didn't lose you...
How stupid I can be , Can't I?
I feel so well
my friend, your caring's so precious
and whatever you're doing today
I feel like there's something of it that I can see...
In the forest you are
deep blue seas make us be so far away
In the sun you are
histories of people who went there
from this part of the world
In my heart you are
and what we share once again
is makin me feel so warm
Got a letter
today and I feel fine
I am grateful to life
and byrds still fly
like my thoughts fly to you...
In the forest you are
deep blue seas don't make us that far away
In the sun you are
histories of a trip I would like to take
In my heart you are
and what we share will always be a shelter to me.

This 17th "regular" portrait of Renderosity members (beside the "Knighthood Series") homages hsteel,a lovely person whose beauty matches perfectly her artistic skills. She was so sweet to portray me months ago, and it was then natural for me to ask her if I could have done the same for her: she agreed, and at my request of sending me some pics as reference... well...she sent me some of the most beautiful poses I have ever seen. I can't help myself.. I am EXTREMELY keen at beauty, and she's just my prototype for females.. faery-like, royal, elegant, absolutely perfect. It was a hard choice to pick just one pic of her. Her art though is as enchanting as I said, as her face is. This is the link to her website, (her Renderosity page can be easily found here of course): visit this shining creature's realm and you won't be disappointed :)

Again gotta give explanations about all my lackin online, especially considering how adorable so many of you are in worrying about my reasons that keep me far away from conections. To say it as briefly as I can,I got phone in the new house ONLY two days ago, which made the ADSL connection slide away in the makin. So till January the 22th I won't be home connected in Lodi (today I am in Florence for the weekend, and that's why I can use pc ;))But as that date comes, EVERYTHING will go back to normality. See you on Sunday to a brief bleeping on of mine- and upload-,now can FINALLY surf a bit and you bet I will!!! hugs ;)

un fantastico ritratto a matita Meli...!!! il viso e la posizione delle sue mani sono molto espressive...!!! la modella ha gran bellezza...!!!
Yes, thank you for surfing my gallery. Beautiful job on the image!
Very nicely done Meli, I like the power that ensues between the hard background and the soft handling of the portraiture of your friend Harmony. It's been literally many years since I've done any finished pencil work. Anyway - I really like this sketch - a beautiful job.
As always... a fantastic portrait from a very talented artist (I had a look at her Website) :) You caught so well her sweet and tender expression. I love the poem too... Very beautiful artwork, Meli !
Your portraits are always very expressive and detailed. You're wonderful! Brava, Meli! :) :)
I can just imagine how long it must take you to create such nice portraits.What a skill.You are especially good with eyes and the expressions.
neat clean sweet beautiful portrait with the high contrast using pencil you do magic!!

A beautiful portrait and dedication. Always wonderful artwork!
Most beautiful hieratic portrait... so much loving warmth shows trough this masterful tribute!
Am enjoying the graceful beauty of her face and your render.
Lady Melania, your style and technique for portraying the spirit of life gives me thrills and chills right down to my very soul. You have a glorious and generous heart for people that shines through with every image. Take care and Happy New Year :0)
Lovely, as always. I love your portraits, it's so very kind of you to capture others' beauty, and that you do very well! I love the background, it almost looks like dense forest of stripped trees.
Wonderful artwork Melania! You have quite a talent!
Stai diventando sempre pibrava, complimenti!!!
Bello il ritratto... e singolare il soggetto... non ha i lineamenti dolci, ma trasuda ugualmente dolcezza...
Superb portrait, you really have a great eye for porportion and the shading in excellent!
WOW GREAT DRAWING
I really like all the different ways you're using your pencil and even your eraser (as in the dress highlights) to create textural and tonal relationships. Your clever use of technique really enhances the image. Another gem!
A fascinating work, Melania! Thanks for sharing it, and thank you also for everything you are... and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones! :-)
I really appreciate what you do here. My son also does portraits. You are very good at what you do. I must share your work with him.

You captured the warm and peaceful expression of her face very well. The eyes have a wonderful look :-)
Outstanding in every way she does show so much inter strength yet extremely soft and beautiful so lovely YOU ARE A TRUE ARTIST.
