How adorable Linda.

Your talents really shine through on this pieces as it does with all your others.

You have certainly captured the eyes with all the clarity and perspective of the piece.

Well done.

    Thank you Jesuel. I will tell you that the depth is so difficult and time consuming. For your to notice that is a wonderful miracle to me.
Comment from BryanOldfield


Lovely effect. The black and white makes it look like a vintage image. Like the way you have captured the texture of the dress and the expression, also the baby fine hair! Great job. B

    Thank you Monty. I wanted to capture this child forever in graphite. Not just a photo, which anyone can do, but something that comes from the very soul.

What a beautiful little princess with black pearls for eyes. Must have been an ultimate pleasure for you to work on this piece. It is becoming rather boring, but here is another six ;-)

Comment from Mara del Mar


Is that really it is an adorable baby. Love the brightness and wetness of the eyes, like the facial expression, great lighting and soft texture of skin. Well done, and congratulations by the beautiful granddaughter!

    Thank you so much. At the time that I took this photo, My daughter was living with me with her two children. Life was hard, and God was working to improve our lives.
Comment from pattigirl


She is just precious, and I love your pencil drawing of her. What a treasure she is. Such a sweet, little, loving face, and the little bow in her hair is so darling. Outstanding work, as always.

    u know linda as a sharpie artist i would show my work over the decades and the most comming reaction is "great drawing! so when r u gonna do some real artwork?"..sharpie was never really considered as a art medium till the last few years. for 4 decades i have palyed with my office material to making art from it no matter what others would say..nowdays its like ..cool and cant see how u did that stuff type comments even though many dont understand that i can blend colors with a sharpie.havent seen anyone else do that yet but sure someone else will figure it out..wink...however the inspiration of my wife to keep pursuing it has help..a true inspirational word always helps against the bombardment of insults..u go girl an rock on with ur dreams!..wink
