Comment from FBI GUY


Amazing detail and warm feelings are radiating off the screen. Your ability to use light to create such feelings is so well done. The pose and look on his face is so precious. The details of the clothing and spots of light fill the scene with warmth.

Comment from Kbanich


This is such an attractive piece with nice interest to provoke that warm nurturing / protective feeling I think we all experience when observing the young ones. Your incorporation of light is skillfully deployed. I love the way the light is casting light on both the face and floor. Did you draw this from a picture? Truly a beautiful piece. Kathy

Fantastic. So realistic and such great detail. I am a little worried about the tike being so close to the flame. This truly is fantastic work and I truly enjoy it. Good luck in the contest.

You have produced a beautiful and powerfully commanding work of art that superbly captures a child's natural trait of curiosity. I admire how the dark background highlights the glowing candles and also how the glowing candles bring soft illumination to the little boy's face and body. I also think that your artwork makes a splendid art cover for a Christmas card.

how cute is this to watch this toddlers attempt to blow the fire out of those three candles and to see the intenisity on the child face and how he nearly put his whole body into blowing this out to a point hes holding on to his knees and this piece of art is clearly in focus good job

This drawing is outstanding, as well as a great story telling piece of art love the white you used to bring out the effect of lighting that is reflecting from the little one. the frame work is great, and the detailing from the candles to the little boy is wonderful great job.

OMG! How wonderful is this! What a fabulous work of art this is. You have expressed the wonder in this child at the flickering light in such detail I got shivers.
Fabulous artwork. You are so professional. Looks like a win to me.

a beautiful piece of art work,touching and very rewarding for the viewer.Gorgeous chiaroscuro techniques used here to their full potential with excellent structure to the composition with the light of the childs face being a superb central focus point with wonderful expression despite the angle of the facial features..a truly stunning piece

Comment from Scott A. Robinson


Very nice composition. Love the subject matter. My only criticism would be for you to tone down the lower left hand corner. It is extremely well rendered but I find it drawing my eye from the main point of the subject that being the child's face. I really enjoy this piece and truly wouldn't change a thing)
