    Thank you Lili. This was my Christmas card a few years ago. I recorded that song, "Mary Did You Know?" and enclosed it in each card.

First of all, the lighting couldnīt be more dramatic or attention getting for the viewer. But what holds interest, at least for me, is the texturing of the drawing. I donīt recall seeing this before in your works, so it makes me wonder how you processed the photo of the drawing. It would be interesting to know the details, e.g. program used and settings. Otherwise, it is a very lovely and endearing work.

Comment from BrentSisson


I have no idea how such a lovely picture can be drawn with a mechanical pencil. The fine textured hair, the shadow beneath Mary's chin, the light on baby Jesus' face and the interlocking, loving eyes all come through with your artist's touch. I believe I see a dove or an angel in the upper left hand corner. It is an inspiring work, tender and wondering. Did she know?

Nice drawing. Good lines and lighting here. The only thing I see a bit off is the fingers the split between the two spread out fingers I think should be higher. But otherwise a nice piece of work. Thanks for sharing.

I knew when I saw your name that I was about to open another masterpiece! (Oh! How I look forward to each of your works!)

The eye connection between mother and child is so tender and real. (I like the inclusion of the star.)
