Description "Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China

And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover

And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind."

"Suzanne"- Leonard Cohen

Great light and details. Awesome portrait !
Fits for Suzanne, one of my all time favorite songs!
Good idea, I'll try to draw her when I am in the mood
You also could join #Pencil-Portraits if you feel like it.

I had her very detailed in mind few years ago but I didn't draw yet (I started last year )... and now she faded away a bit. But listening to the song several times as I used to, I could be in the mood again... Just few drawings before that ... I'll let you know
Keep on with inspiration and great drawings !

Before I start drawing I usually have a kind of "idea like this: " An imagine appears in my mind...but it appens only when it's the RIGHT TIME. So you've to patiently wait for your right time for Suzanne, sooner or later it will come
Thank you dear for your appreciation

Wow! This is wonderful! You have taken a beautiful portrait (I saw the reference photo) and given the face slightly more character and feeling. I love this song, too; it was popular when I was about 20. To link the song to your portrait suggests even more about the beauty of the subject. Brava! Complementi!

Ooooh thank you! I really appreciate your comment!
This song is wonderful, expecially its ability to lead you in a special atmosphere, as in a dream.
She's half crazy, and he ends up being fascinated by her madness... I love it!

You're very welcome. I read that Leonard Cohen wrote this song, which was first a poem, about a woman named Suzanne Verdal whom he met in Montreal.
