So beautifully created in graphite....your contrast between light and shadows creating depth and interest in this piece. The facial expression and emotions created of Morgan sleeping is precious and heart warming. This art work is beautiful your placement of the little boy in your frame making it the only focus of interest. What a wonderful gift for your son-in-law....a treasure nothing better than a art work of his child taking a nap. A creative and talented art work. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing.

What a beautiful and serene scene. This is so original in it's presentation and I love the Sepia tones you have here. Adorable that the cat is sharing the nap along with the stuffed animal.

You do such beautiful work. By now I am sure that the balance you achieve between the dark spaces and the light spaces just come about automatically, well almost. We all struggle for that final touch. This is a beautiful and charming well composed drawing. Reasons for my five star vote.

a beautifully drawn piece of art, you have captured the innocence and gentleness of this lovely little boy as he rests with kitty kitty the cat who guards over him while he sleeps, the image is fine in detail I think teddy is there too, the light is splendid and looks ethereal, a very well dawn
image with a lot of depth
and feeling, your son in law will love this. I think this will do very well in the contest. good luck

This is an outstanding drawing
That I originally thought was an old photograph. The detail, shadow, and work is that good!
This can only belong to one exceptional artist. Beautiful form and such a wonderful gift.
Sure to be cherished forever.
This is so perfect I cant compliment it enough.
A real pleasure to view this sleeping beauty and the kitty.
Best wishes in the competition.
