    What a wonderful review. Thank you for your high rating.
Comment from Phyllis Wrublewski


I like the child elevated so the mother looks up to her. The dark background helps make the subjects "pop". The clothing is beautiful.
I think the child's other hand should be on the woman's shoulder or face.

Oh dear, Linda...

I have also had that look and you are a most splendid artist. This is an extraordinary entry and artwork.

The details are precious and it is perfection...It has the antique look.

A look that meets the ages and there are no words to address its excellence.

Linda

Comment from parsons


Electrifying! The look of love on the mother's face is captivating. The composition gives it motion and action. Best in black and white; color would have detracted from the drama of the piece.

Comment from Bethann66


You did a lovely job of catching the emotions on the face of the subjects, especially the mother. Your technique on the hair, skin and clothing is very nice as well. I love the overall feeling of softness in this.

A very lovely artwork. I love this black and white image. Your style is very warming and your subject matter is right on. You have very aptly captured a mother's love and care for her child. I like the period style clothing. You have a wonderful style and technique.

Beautiful and amazing drawing. Like the bond between the mother and daughter and how you drew the picture in graphite. The drawing reveals an emotional and beautiful loving relationship between the parent and child.
