You are a true artist!! This looks so real to me. You have great attention to detail. Your shading shows the character lines, (I won't say wrinkles) and hair color. This is so realistic. Excellent.

You truly are an amazing artist. Every where you look you have very great details and shadowing. even the watch has interesting detail! I always thought portraits were the hardest of all to do. You did an amazing job on Ruthie

Lovely portrait of this elderly lady. I like the pose as Ruth smells the fragrance of the flower, seemingly reminiscing about times gone by. Excellent use of light and shade. I like how you've shown the different textures of hair, skin and clothing. Beautiful portrait Linda. Suzanne

    Suzanne, Happy New Year. Thank you so much for your wonderful review. Let's get busy a make a lot of art this year.
Comment from Zilyram


So impressive - hope whoever commissioned this was pleased can't imagine they wouldn't be. Your skin tones and textures are perfect showing the aging marks and lines perfectly - this shows the beauty of aging which should not be covered by plastic surgery or botox. The hair is so very natural the more I look the more I like the very natural moment created. Started off with 5 but by the end of writing this upped to 6 :) :)

You captured the character of the elderly woman excellently. Her face is marked by time, but her spirit seems young. Her eyesight has diminished, but she replaces it with her sense of smell. I admire the exquisite refinement of detail and the flawless shading. Proportions and perspective are realistic. The portrait is excellently composed and framed.

Awesome drawing! This looks like a photo! Your pencil work is truly masterful. The shading and highlights are superbly blended. You have truly captured Ruthie in her true essence where anyone who her would fight to own this piece of work! Great rendition, good luck in the contest.

This is an outstanding piece of art work on paper! So life like and I see such a gracious spirit in Ruthie. Beautiful light and shading, so realistic. This Christmas may be a difficult one for you...my heart goes out again to you. May you be touched by a peace that passes all understanding. God bless you. Chris

    Thank you so much Chris. I appreciate your thoughts on my grieving. The peace that passes understanding is truly a mystery. God is good. We can't begin to understand His ways.
