Love isn't Love...

A bell is no bell 'til you ring it,
A song is no song 'til you sing it,
And love in your heart
Wasn’t put there to stay -
Love isn’t love
'Til you give it away.
~Oscar Hammerstein, Sound of Music, "You Are Sixteen (Reprise)"

    This is my favorite of the portraits you've posted. Your composition, the shading you've done has given us a story even without your quote. Nice job.

    Very nice Aarti. I think a little shading in the eyes at the upper area
    would finish this perfectly.
