Comment from VMarguarite


You have brilliantly created a lovely realistic pencil portrait artwork of your adorable looking grandchild. At first glance, I thought that I was viewing an actual vintage photograph. Your excellent pencil art is so clearly detailed. I can easily visualize myself gently asking little Esme to have some of her edible treats, and she looking up to me with a welcoming smile along with her welcoming bag of treats to share.

Hi Linda!
As I recently told another artist here on FAR who's picture I was reviewing,'Cute Little Kid' type images ( in any artistic genre) don't honestly do anything for me ( besides maybe creep me out a little! Lol! ) but I've come to really admire & appreciate your artistry,my friend,and I think this new drawing of your's looks Great! : D
Good Show!
~Sean

    Thank you Sean. The fact that you don't care for Cute Little Kid type images, but you admired my picture really says a lot, and means a lot. Thank you.

Yet again Linda, you wow me with your work. I am continually amazed by your control of the pencil. As with this portrait you capture the expressions of your subjects which are purely sublime. I can never get enough of your work.

This is an excellent portrait of your granddaughter. The details are great and the child looks intent on eating her snack (or whatever it is). Good luck in the contest.

What a lovely child. And you have done justice to her beauty in this wonderful drawing. Superb realistic drawing. I love the light and shadow effect. Bravo!

Comment from Sajeda66


Beautiful picture. A lot in detail. This is what children do, most of the time they want to do two things at once. She is eating as well as keeping her packet safe. Perfectly holding what she is eating and trying to use her teeth. Such a wonderful work of art. I have two grandchildren and I know they a joy to the heart.

Oh how absolutely precious and what a great natural pose. Did you see my last note to you saying I wanted to send you a print of the chapel in NM. I need your mailing address if you could send it to me. I'm leaving town for 3 weeks but want to do that when I return. Nancy
