Am sending you a cyber six on this one, it is exquisite! Your technique with pencil is " mind blowing" and this picture is simply remarkable !
The detail in it is extraordinary and rendered with finite precision and attention to minute detail, particularly on the girl.
I painted a copy of a John Waterhouse painting " The Lady of Shallot"( in my portfolio) which was a very detailed and complex work, so I know just how long and painstaking a work like this can be, also intensely emotional as you cannot get a result like this and be detached from the process of creating it.
You're a genius with God given creative talent that is reserved for just a few.

WOW. You drew this? I thought it was an altered photograph!

This is so amazing... love the folds of her skirt! (I am imagining a wonderful nap --- rather than the alternative.)

VERY nice!

Where does one start to review work as beautiful and spiritual as this. I just see this beautiful young girl surrounded by tiny angels. I'm sure they are flowers, but the soft glow says angels to me. Phenomenal skill with amazing detail. There's something very special about this drawing. My eyes wander over every inch but come back to the serenity and peace on her face. What a gift! Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Sange


Lady Linda, I just discovered your work and I sense a deep loss in your life. This young lady with her angelic face seems to be in a majestic place and I sense she is no longer with you. Your title tells me this beautiful angel is now resting with our Heavenly Father.
The details on her face are flawless as are all the details of her clothing and surroundings. There is a majestic like glow about this that makes this very emotive.
I do not know your story or the reasons behind this Beautifulous angelic drawing.
What I do know is that there is no way around grief, there is only thought it. God meets us where we are at. On the days I seem to not be able to throw up a prayer..I just keep breathing and believing. I have found that God gives me just enough light for the step I am on.
Your hands are gifted to be able to create such soulful artwork with a pencil.
This is superb and very touching.
Well done Lady Linda! Well done!

    Omg. how can I comment on such a marvelous review. Yes there is loss. My daughter died suddenly 11 years ago at the age of 24. After that, God Almighty directed me to begin drawing. He gets all the glory. This is an expression from deep within my soul. I thank God for the opportunity to serve Him with what I do. Thank you for the 6 star rating.

This is so beautiful. I don't know quite where to start. The woman slumbering is expertly rendered and the detail of her clothes is exquisite. I love the detail of the plants and trees surrounding her. This took remarkable effort and skill.
