Such a wonderful image of your granddaughter. The power in her facial expression is priceless - seems quite engaged in the moment. Great detail over the drawing with absolutely fabulous color and lighting. Beautiful moment to hold onto forever. Thanks for sharing and good luck... gonna take a look at what's in there now! LOL This may just do it for me!!!

Comment from Stringbean


This is art work and story telling at it's best! Beautiful Gypsy girl with her rocking horse. So beautiful is this Gypsy girl and her delicate feature are so realistic and beautifully done. You are just drawn into this composition with those eyes. You are a master with your graphite pencil and colored pencils. The details on her outfit with the fringe and her facial features are exquisite. The colors, details, shading of color is excellent. This is a talented and creative art work and thanks for sharing. Good luck in the contest!

Comment from Barb Baker


I think I know who you are but haven't seen too many of your pieces with color. Anyway, I love this and it does indeed tell a story of this little gypsy girl and her hobby horse. Probably her only possession. I love the look on her little face and the colors of her outfit are beautiful!! Love everything about it!! Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest!! Barb Baker

this is so cute. its shame that they use great topics as being blind. i was told that since i am illustrator i should enter..after all these years no one ever listens to me ..i dont waste my time on blind. fanart is my base site while im name building thru here and 10 other sites. i dont have any worries about folks voting on the reason they know the artist versus the work. thats is childish and thats that.funny thing is the only time i have a chance of winning is commitee contest not member contest. if im lucky on member contest, i would get 1 or 2 votes so i cringe when i hear the excuses that folks come up about why blind contest are better. but i guess its to pacify the newbies who are trying to learn and more power to them. it just sux they do this on some good topics and not on the non blind contest. oh well it sux to be me but it is what it is i wont change..wink. awesome creation. the facial expression is great. the body form and language is great. the details is great. the shading is great. the depth is perfect. the touch of color is great. the creation is well balanced and very eye appealing to the viewer. winner work and good luck in that blind contest. wink

    Since this is Blind, MK, I will keep my gratitude secret. SHHHHH. You are such a great guy. It's as if we are truly good friends, though we have never met. You give such great advice to all who present their art on this site. I appreciate you so much.

    look i do so much reviewing i know majority of folks style..im bitching for my own self. have you notice that only the committee contest are always not blind. thats why i go for them. however when the fellow member do contest they either dont know they can cliick a drop down tab to choose blind or non blind or you have those few who have made the statements i have metioned. i get to the point the only ones i pay attention to are contest that pays real money but the topics are not always that great. so just consider me having my man rag for the moment. and shhhhh you dont have to tell me who ya are. i am glad your adding a touch of color do it more often..wink wink..

You have met the criteria for this contest exceptionally well.

Is the heart rending expression of "The Little Gypsy Girl" your granddaughters or did you draw it in?

The eyes are what attracted me to this touching piece of art. They are so expressive - longing, sadness, pleading for something out of reach.

The color range and balance is excellent and brings out the character of the little girl with her best friend.

I think you have a contender for the contest, good luck ... B-)) bob

what a gorgeous piece of art work, truly wonderful composition and what a great structure to the presentation . The detail in the dress is quality and the depth in the eyes bring that wonderful innocent expression to this little girls face. Great background allowing the image to be enhanced...no problem with giving this a six

Hi Anon

What a story this picture could belong to. My mind is racing with all sorts of possibilities and I wonder if perhaps someone could pen a story on FanStory someday - they often have contests based on pictures on there. Thanks for sharing and good luck! R
