I think this is fabulous work! All of the elements in this scene have such lovely detail with so few lines and the realistic appearance is remarkable. You are so talented! I imagine if you did a color version of this it would also be great. Wish I had a six left since this is very deserving of six stars.

    Thank you so much. Sorry for the late response but my house is being renovated and it is a mess. Cannot get to my art room studio. Lol.

Comment from Donna Ruiz


I LOVE this drawing. You are so very talented. What I really love about this piece is that I spent time viewing every different element on the page. My eye wanders from the flowers to the boot to the vase and the lovely topper. A true gift to present something that the viewer enjoys exploring. Very well done. :)

Linda, I think this is just quite lovely.
I wish I could print it out and color it.
Definitely a perfect piece for this contest.
This is beautiful, I love the boot, but I think the bee is my favorite part.
Your lines are super clean.
Your design is very appealing, reminds me of a calendar piece of art.
Its a great piece, good luck and thanks for sharing.

    You're so welcome. You should make a coloring book.
Comment from Sarojini


Beautiful and unusual composition. Your drawing and line work is too good..heavy where it should be as in the foreground and the boot and lighter as in the distant objects. Love this

Comment from Miranda Langston


i really like the contrast between the masculinity of the boot and the soft femininity of the flowers. I think the perfume bottle was a really nice touch and i like how some of the flowers are drooping

You did a great job with this line drawing. The different variations of thick and thin lines add depth to the drawing. I can easily say that this drawing pops out all on its own without adding color to it. Well done and thanks for sharing. :)

super line work my friend, the detail is great and as for your composition ,it really is good and presented so well with a nice structure to the piece.I almost want to see you subsequently paint it in now with a medium to give it depth and bring it alive

Comment from Sharon Meda


The complexity of this piece, with so little shading, is incredible.
You've managed to capture depth with only lines.
I like it.
Well done.
Sharon

This could be one of my favorites of yours, Linda. It should do very well in the line art contest. It is composed very nicely with interesting vases, flowers, shoe and perfume bottle. The are all arranged in an outstanding composition. It's a great drawing. Best of luck to you in the contest.

Hello Linda I passed by this one a number of time. I finally pulled it up and looked at it on a larger scale and as Ilooked at the stylization I saw some resemblance to Van Gogh especially with the sunflowers just add some yellow and voila ! it is also just a whimsical piece ! Nice work !
