Thank you, Linda for your stunning artwork, which makes a stunning accompaniment to my piece (credit given therein as well). The piece begins with the quote "All my Exes Live in Texas." Cheers. LIZ

You certainly inherited your dad's artistic ability. Your drawings are phenomenal! I like the sepia. It makes it look older. Your talent is amazing.

Comment from Susannah Lord
Does it get any better than this? The expression so skillfully captured by a photographer then turned into an exquisite pencil drawing, capturing shades and shadows so perfectly. Eyes are the hardest to capture in drawings -the windows to the soul- but here he looks alive! I feel as though he's looking right at me! Well done.

Wow! As usualy...an absolutely amazing work of art. Your shading continues to baffle me. I like seeing your work in his mustache on this one. It gives me a bit more of a sense of what your hand was doing. Simply Amazing. Do you use a light board and what size is this finished work...if you don't mind sharing. Sincerely, Rebecca

A lovely pencil portrait of Sam Elliott, Linda. Great likeness. I like how you differentiate between the clothing and skin and hair with your pencil. Excellent light and shading and attention to detail. Very nice composition. Suzanne

Excellent in every way. Great framing and detailing down to the hairs in his mustache! Great facial positioning and proportions that gives it a photorealism look. Great skill, lovely work!
