Night Sprite Marsha: I love her pose, the way she kneels in dual ease and readiness, one hand to the edge in tangible metaphor, and her eyes likewise on the watching. Very powerful lighting as well, coming from before her as if coming AT her, and yet her shoulders are rolled forward and her chin tilted to offer it her crown; she is unafraid of the dark and respects the light. I am especially fond of her bracelet and ring, like kisses of her mortality to bring her back to reality. Her calm is a balanced distraction from the challenge in her dark gaze, which is just looking for a reason… Truly, a lovely piece. Thank you (both Manring and Marsha plus any behind the scenes assistants and supporters!) for sharing!
