Girl with Golden Hair

A moment stilled in quiet grace,
Soft golden strands frame her face.
In tender hush, the world withdraws,
And beauty breathes in nature’s pause.

This pastel on paper painting belongs to the figurative portrait genre. The technique uses soft pastels applied with light strokes and blending to achieve gentle transitions of tone and texture. The muted background enhances the warmth of the subject’s hair and skin, while the delicate linework captures the youthful serenity of the girl’s profile. The intimate composition invites a personal, reflective response.
