    Thank you.
Comment from Dick Lee Shia


A well thought out portrait with meticulous attention to the minutest details.

101% realism!
Dramatic illumination casting soft shadows and faint highlights.
Low key portraiture.

A very fine drawing. It seems as though I should know this person, she looks so familiar. A well composed image with excellent details. Best of luck in the contest.

This is really beautiful Linda and tells a fabulous story. All of the details and use of light give the piece great depth which in turn gives a nice initial impact. The shading has been done really well as well. Overall a very nice piece of art indeed ð???

Well, as usual, an excellent drawing Linda. It seems that a pencil is a magic wand in your hand. It turns a blank page into a beautiful picture. I am impressed by the realism you can produce. Kudos. Reasons for my five star vote.

I think you must have captured the character of Ruth in an excellent way. She looks like such a lovely old woman, and I especially like the pose With her smelling the rose.

I also like very much the way you have used the light, and Your always so good attention to even the smallest details.

The format and the tight framing is Perfect, and Ruthie has got a very good placement on the paper. A truly lovely and well done portrait Linda.

I wish you all the best for the New Year.

HI Linda, When I first saw this in the small size I could have mistaken it for a BW photograph. You did a lovely job with the detail and the shading. I'm sure the person who commissioned this was incredibly pleased with the results. Outstanding Job! Definitely worth six stars!!! :o) Nancy

Ruthie is so very well drawn , it looks like an old Black and white photograph of her as she smells the rose. She is well created with realistic shape and structure , well shown hair, skin texture , arm and hand , I like the wristwatch and bracelet she wears , well shown fabric of her blouse, I am positive this will be treasured forever! Well presented!
