Comment from Brad Hess
Lovely capture of joy in the eyes! So full of life with wonderful suggestions of innocence, curiosity and youthful awareness. Her hair brings a sense of motion and energy into the portrait. What a touching memorial piece! Well done!

Jesuel, I have dabbled in paint. But there is a fear there. You are so brave with your painting. Beautiful work.

reply by jesuel on 29-Apr-2016

linda paint is just an extension of drawing you can only paint as good as you can draw and I believe you would be great at it

Comment from Bruceiorio
This is very nice. Simple, soft and gentle in style. You have very good technique and your portrayal of the child is gentle and flowing. Good composition and tonal qualities.

Wonderful tribute to her mother. Your talents have been put to a wonderful use. The details you have captured is almost photographic. The black and white effect has lots of depth and character. The eyes have life and joy represented in the,. Wonderful work!

Wow, that's very beautiful. No point going into the in and outs of all the technicalities because there is just no need. What you have there is something extremely special and you have done an exceptional job. I'm sure your friend will be blown away.

This is a very nice portrait of a pretty and happy child. Not knowing the subject, it is difficult to say more than that. But I am sure your friend was pleased.
