Beautiful piece as usual! Love the illumination of her hair and dress in the light- the textures are amazing! The addition of color really adds emphasis to the already amazing work. A small suggestion I have would be to soften the lower lash line of the girl's right eye to work with the soft, light tone of the rest of the portrait. Just a tiny suggestion, definitely not trying to be critical of this amazing piece. :)

It does look like an old B&W now colorized. Your rendering is so precise that without knowing you, anyone else would be fooled. Excellently done especially the lace and hair. Plus the bow coloration is fabulous and accentuates its fabric nature. Great job.

Comment from Jack Moore


First of all I want to give God the praise for finding another Christian on here that is not ashamed to tell other people about their Faith. Second their is not enough that I can say except your art is out of this world. I can see that God has given you a talent that is second to none, I can not express myself enough for the beauty that I see. This to me is a masterpiece and I really enjoyed be able to view it, also I am so sorry about your daughter but I see that you have a memory that will last forever, I am talking about the one that is in your heart. Keep up the fantastic work and keep the Faith and have a Blessed Day. JackJr.

Superb drawing of a lovely child. Very lifelike presentation. The subtle colouring works on the B& W drawing. The delineation and detailing is par excellence. A virtual 6 for you. Bravo!

Comment from Neilnap773


stunning piece once again Linda and the palette is just out of this world...this is so one of your best pieces to date and as you know i love them all but the tonal control on this is awesome as the light bouncing off the curls on her left side is glorious and pulls the viewers eye in to appreciate this pretty girls wonderful expression. I give this a 106 not just a 6

Comment from David Ruhl


Seriously, 6 stars is an insult to a beautiful work of art like this. I'd give it 10 stars if I could! The subtle coloring, the details on the scarf and bow, and her lovely face are all perfection, but it's the lighting on her hair that I find most amazing. This is just stunning!

Wow...this is stunning. It looks more beautiful than a vintage photo. Her stare is well drawn with her beautiful eyes. The purity of innocence.

Well done and thanks for sharing.
