No one person should ever have to deal with the loss of one child let alone two. You have shown great faith, strength and humbleness. You are a woman of Faith who uses her gift to shine God's light on others.
I know your Grandson must treasure this drawing of him and his mom.
I am happy you won this Contest Lady Linda.
Your work is beautiful.
Well done ;)

    I can only offer prayer to build you up and to offer advice for on the days when you can't say a prayer or feel your prayers go only as high as your ceiling...
    Keep breathing... Keep Believing and just look up.

I am so saddened by this news. I can tell by their expressions how happy and loved they were. This will be a treasure for Aden. I really like the way you highlighted their faces against that dark background. Excellent shading. She is glowing. A prediction of the Angel she would become.

    Thank you so much, Denise. Receiving 6 stars is always such an honor. Losing my Alyssa crushed my heart, but her children keep me going in love.

Very touching drawing of these two precious people. Typically I don't like to write review on a sad story, but the light and optimistic expression on Aden face is so captivating.; His mother adoring her son is equally hopeful, soft and loving. Beautiful drawing and memory of the time well lived!

Comment from Barbara L Manne


Oh my goodness...this painting is even more heartwarming and special. I was drawn to the perfect technique found in this drawing of mother and son, but am saddened by the story. My sincere condolences to you and your family. The adoring mother is so evident in her loving expression and the playful grin on the young boy's face is endearing. The richness of the values is a very strong component in this piece. This work is so spot on at first glance I wondered if it was a photograph. Simply a beautiful piece in technique and memory.

What a gift for your grandson. Your exquisite drawing must bring him a great deal of comfort---and you, too. The expressions on their faces is so joyful. God bless your talent because you so freely share it.

Sorry to hear of your loss in the notes with this fine drawing. Together, mother and son make a wonderful image, either as a photo or a drawing. They certainly look very happy together. No doubt your lovely drawing will be of comfort to him for years to come. Well done!

Your drawing is yet another excellent example of skillful pencil artistry,my friend!
It's not merely a display of workman-like technical proficiency-like many of the photo-realistic drawings that get posted here on FanArt are-but it's also connected deeply with real Human emotion that adds Life and a sense of genuine interest to your work!
'Good Show'! : )
