You did a fantastic job Linda. This is a beautiful drawing that seems to have turned out exactly the way you wanted. Exquisite interplay of light and shadow. She has a very sweet and serene facial expression. Excellent work. ~Alveria

Such beauty! Those gorgeous eyes just suck you right into her soul and make you wonder what she is thinking about. So much detail in the hair. Thank you for sharing.

What a beautiful picture Linda. I am at a loss for words with this. I don't think I have ever seen anything this sublime before. I know that there isn't anything I can say that probably has not already been said by those who know what they are talking about. All that I can do is give it my highest rating. I am so pleased that you posted for all to see.

Your reviews never cease to give me an extra heartbeat. Thank you for the 6 stars, and thank you for your wonderful review.

To me this and many of your works are absolutely Priceless. If you ever, EVER choose to part with an original, please keep me in mind. I would sell pencils on a corner. Even thinking of a price for these sublime works is almost an insult to you and them. There is just something Spiritual about them. Can't explain it. Forgive me Linda, I have wanted to say this for such a long time. I treasure the signed photo you sent me and it is in a place of honor in my home. Actually, now that I think about it, please disregard the above. I just had to say it and well..........

Which one do you want. It is yours.

While this one is my all time favorite, I could never feel privileged enough to actually own it. This is so very special and spiritual that somehow nothing I can do would do it justice. I know that sounds crazy. Just looking at it makes me overwhelmed and I cry. That is not like me as I am retired Army, 26 years, four tours in Afghanistan and not easily prone to emotions. This is too much to handle right now. I'm sorry Linda. All I want to do is look at it for now if that is OK.

Linda, I think you were totally successful. I see that it does have a nostalgic appearance. Very well done. Great shading and the detail is amazing. Well done. Good luck and thanks for sharing.

Comment from Angelheart The First
Allow me to give you this six star rating Linda. She is so
very beautiful and I love the softness of this. Don't know how many have guessed that the eye's follow you wherever you go! I also love the glow that surrounds her face. I can't think of anything else to say except your work is "outstanding". Nice to see you in the #1 spot.

Linda, you really captured the softness and innocence in the lady's features. Your drawings are so life like. All the details you capture is amazing. As always another great job.
