Don't get up to get coffee yet

I particularly liked this sketch because it was a starch contrast from the other works from this artist as well as from others on different blogs.  I am accustomed to seeing face portraits or building sketches but rarely have I seen the human body represented by only displaying their legs.  The way she presents the legs crossed creates a very intimate setting without the use of any facial expression and minimal body language.  From this artwork, I understand the man is relaxed and calm.  To sum up my feelings on this sketch, it was not vibrant colors, tremendous size, or the beauty that struck my attention but the simplicity in which the artist shows a great deal of emotion in her work.  I feel it represents a lot of emotion without really having to show me the whole picture.
