Yuri Yanin, awol now...thank you so much.......... from my archives...a truly treasured comment, with thanks::

:" Everything was said in the above comments, what was not said probably shouldn't be said, but I can not help saying . It seems as if she is alive, it is a very sharp and vivid feeling! I can't believe that you draw it from a statue (if I understood you correctly) and that you made this masterpiece just occassionaly. I can work for all my life and not to create anything comparable. I love this image very much!' Thank you,Yuri.
