Very nice. The hat texture seems terrific.

Hard not to fall in love with her. I was also slightly reminded of Lady Penelope of Thunderbirds.

Thanks, Seth

I used a simple technique for the fur hat. I took a short no 3 bristle brush, dipped it in water then dried it to a just damp finish,
then stippled selected areas on the hat. After that I used a dry brush and stippled round the "damp" bits. The pastel reacted favourably
to the brush work. One to remember, I think.

I see Lady Penelope is making a comeback on a TV advert. Parker's just won half a million and has trotted of to the Caribbean.
Poor Lady P' is high and dry without her right-hand man. :)

Lara is 76 now. Who'd a thought.

Pleased you liked.

Best
