Wow, Linda, it took some close observation to figure out this was not a photo. Your rendering technique here is impeccable. Beautiful attention to shadows and highlights on the skin. Plus this is a totally charming young Elvis with all the innocence of his early years. Another masterpiece.

    Your reviews are so encouraging. I don't know why we artists need this affirmation. But I will say that it totally thrills me. Thank you for your kindness.

Linda, I haven't seen a piece of art work from you that does not deserve a six. I can't tell you enough how talented and gifted you are. Your top in my eyes and also very inspiring. Have you ever tried water color painting?

Wow Very nice!

I love how you've shaded this picture, it almost looks like a water color painting.

I would love to be able to draw like you..

Nice Job!
