Gorgeous, feminine and so nicely isolated with this striking pencil rendering of this lovely subject. Love the lit touches of flowing form, detailing, shading technique so rich and full of atmosphere, presence and expressive strengths in all of your portraits.

    6 stars is always so wonderful to receive. Thank you so much "Wolfie" Your review is stellar.
Comment from Ronnie McClune


Another outstanding piece of work. You have captured the fineness of the hair, skin tone, and feel of the material with amazing accuracy. Wonderful talent. I always assume reviews are to contain criticism and points to debate. Your work draws neither from me - only appreciation of your work. Well done and thanks for sharing - Ronnie

Oh this is stunning. Wow looks so much like a photograph. The details you put into your drawings are just amazing. The back, the hair and the clothing are all just immaculate. The lights and shadows are preciously placed as to add to the realism of this . Grand job and thanks for sharing.

    Thank you so much for this lovely review, Lynn. It helps a lot to know what the viewer sees and interprets.

    I totally agree with you, even with my elementary paintings and pastels I get so many different views. I guess you could say that with my photos as well. Lynn

This is Just soooo lovely. Linda, are you showing in any galleries. Your work needs to be out there for the whole world to appreciate. I love how her hair is pulled up with just a loose strand. Exquisite!

What a lovely drawing. Your capture of the details is so intricate. Another fine drawing and one that is worthy of All Time Best. But all of your drawings are worthy of that title.

Comment from Life is but a dream.


Did you see Edward Degas painting of Apres le Bain is selling for over 5 million dollars or is that Euros.

Stunning work Linda, it does show soft on this side of the planet but I know your work isn't soft so it could be the upload.

Beautiful detail and the feminine is so well done.

Congratulations.

    Thank you Life. Excellent eye. Your review has touched on something that bothered me. The larger picture appears to be a bit out of focus.

Beautiful work Linda. Great highlights and shadows rendering a look of dramatic lighting. Excellent job with the hair and material folds. Realistic looking skin and hair. Great visual impact. ~Alveria

Comment from Montana Shooter


This is another fine drawing. You utilize shadows and light beautifully in your work. I am jealous of your talent. The lines of both your subject and the cloth are so soft which adds nicely to the composition.

Very nice!
