For Baroque Contest of :iconorangeclockwork:

This is Caritas, allegory of Charity, one of the seven virtues. She is traditionally depicted as a mother with little children, and I rarely draw children so I just had to give it a try.

References used are from a couple of old master paintings (Batoni, Electrine von Freyberg) and from a magazine.

Lovely fabric and flowers, but I really love the faces. And her earring. Think you might end up doing a series of the Virtues? That would be so cool.

Creativity is nature's way of keeping you busy and obsessed with everything but what you should really be working on in the first place.

Yaad karte hai tumhe tanhai mein...
dil dooba hai gamo ki gehrai mein...

hum millenge tumhe tumhari parchaai mein.....
