Yours is one of the finest tributes anyone can pay another Human being - Kudos to you for earning you place at the side of God.

I see a piece of original art created by a talent yet unknown on the world stage.

Your sense of proportion, placement and mood is well demonstrated in this most remarkable and pleasing piece.

This is what I take away from this portrait. She is like the grass she is named for, beautiful to look at, strong and tenacious. She never quits or gives up - true to the end.

She has a continence about her that radiates an aura of gold.

From her deep facial expression I see a person who is at peace with herself and her maker. A small hint of sadness at having to leave before her time and at the same time a sense of satisfaction with all she has done in this world.

She is an 'Old Soul'.

thanks for creating this outstanding portrait. I will be surprised if this does not take an award in this contest ... B-)) Bob

This is fantastic! She was a beautiful strong woman, with long blonde hair and beautiful eyes, I love the way you posed her, her face is well shaped with proportionate features, nice detail throughout this drawing, I'm sure this will be treasured forever! It's beautiful work, impressive to view!

You can tell by her eyes (YOUR artistic skill) that Heather lighted up the world for many people. Beautiful drawing of her and it will be appreciated by her family more than you know.

i cannot really see this one, but i am guessing that the portrait is exceptionally painted and that the colours are vibrant. is the size wrong on this painting, or....?
