Great drawing, the effects You get here with pencil is truly mystical. The figure of the Girl is done very well, with a serene look on her face. The texture of the grass, the shading, and especially the light, that You've created in the background, and on Her face, is wondrous. Very well done, thanks for sharing.

    It has been my sincerest pleasure creating this piece. I so wanted it to come out mystical and magical. I prayed with each pencil touch, and The Lord heard me and directed.
    Thank you for your wonderful review.

Hi Linda, it has been a while and it is wonderful to see some of your new work. This is for sure full of glorious detail. This site now allows much larger sized uploads, up to 500kb file size and 840 wide and at least 700 high without scrolling on most displays. If you have the opportunity please consider a lager size. WOuld love a closer look at this detail. I love the what looks like dogwood and light through the trees, and this is for starters.

    Time Time..time, yes I know the feeling. I am always behing time and out of time.
    Some time, one time, any time God will take our burden of no time and give us eternity, which is exactly how long it will take me to catch up:-) Look foward to it:-)
    Just felt like sharing that thought.

Comment from Rons Pen Art


Awesome pencil drawing my friend, you always amaze me with your talent and gift to create such inspiring pieces of spirituality and your love of life! This sweet sleeping girl is resting on earth in a heavenly divine location, and I sense a dream like state of total resolve and happiness! I sense glowing lights around this sleeping beauty and one admires the awesome details in her clothing and as well the trees and grass area are done in such splendor! At peace with nature, resting in her garden of softness and protected from all that is bad on this day, just for the moment in peaceful fantasy! Excellent pencil art, you have such a gift and insight for spirituality and it shows in this inspiring piece! I wish I had a six left for you, please accept one from my heart to you!!! Thanks for sharing, take care and god bless!!!

Comment from Aether


Linda, this is lovely. The attention to detail in the background and the beatific expression on the sleeper's face is simply truly a work of art. This makes me glad that I saved out a six for later in the month. Glad to see another of your works. I hope you had a Merry Christmas, and all is well with you and yours.

    Linda,

    The quality of your work makes it hard to do in high volume. Don't change a thing and we will be happy to see the work you do when you can do it.

This is excellent! I love the way it's shadowed; looks almost like you could reach out and move the grasses aside. She looks so relaxed and at peace.

Comment from JenniferGTucker


this is a beautifully drawn piece. i'm not sure what mood it creates for me though... i can see the peaceful sleep but it also looks a bit ominous with the wrinkled clothing and her body position.. i may be watching too much tv :/

    A young virgin woman, resting in a meadow, with the mysterious mist rising from the grass. Ah, novels were written with this in mind. She is a passion within my breast. Something that had to be drawn upon paper. Thank you for your fantastic review.
