a stunning piece of work that has so much feeling within its application and structure.The detail is skilfully applied with superb chiaroscuro technique throughout with impressive contrast between dark and light tones.It really is one of you best pieces of work which to be honest all of your works are stunning !

    Dearest Neil, thank you for your wonderful review and the fantastic 6 star rating. Isn't it amazing how art can take us out of the excruciating pain of life and put us on another plain. The loss of my daughter, Alyssa, just about shattered my foundation. The Lord had other plans. Thank you for your wonderful support.

This looks like a photo! What a wonderful job of all that shading for the contours of the faces and fabrics. The proportions and body positions are perfect. I love the way the boy's hand is bracing him on the couch back. Wonderful artistry!

    Dearest Patti, I want to thank you for your fantastic review. Receiving the 6 star rating is always such an honor. The hand, that you mentioned, gave me the most trouble. I am so glad that you appreciate it.

Comment from Sange


Incredible realism with a mood of unconditional love between a brother and his sister. I like the monochromatic tone and the way your gifted hand creates photo like drawings.
Beautiful work Lady Linda ;)

This is an impressive drawing of the two children which are appear to be siblings. The love of the older boy for the baby shows in its incredible realistic drawn expression. How you painted light and shadows to emphasize the expressions of the children is outstanding. Your attention to exact detail and perspective and proportion is immaculate. The drawing is excellently composed and framed.

Comment from avmurray


I hope you are all well in these Corona times Linda. I must suppose you are since you just have created this beautiful drawing. It is showing such a tender moment between siblings, and it is so touching.

I especially like the way you have used the light and how lovely it is falling on the sleeping baby and the boy's face. It is also great distinctions between light and dark.

This is of course also done paying very good attention Down to the smallest details, and fine textures are brought out.

I also like the tight framing and the placement of the two of them within the frame. This makes for a good and well balanced composition. Indeed a well done graphite drawing.
