Awwww... cute. I love this brilliant composition. It's kept so simple and therein, lies the beauty. I love the two kids clad in colourful jackets holding hands on wintry day. And then just the tree trunks at the flanks. Loved this simplicity- you are too good at staying basic and yet making art appealing. Kudos

I really like the winter scene you have created here Mark, and especially the great perspective with the great leading lines. The trees just look great against the white snow, and I like that you have added shoe prints from the walking kids.

I like that the kids look like they are in motion, and also the colors you have used on their clothes. As always this is of course done paying a very good attention even to the smallest details.

It is nothing wrong with the composition either. The format and framing is perfect, and the walking kids are so well placed in the picture. I think this is a truly lovely and well done sharpie drawing, and I wish you luck with the contest.

Your work on this wintry scene is excellent! The details are amazingly well done and the full frame is outstanding. From the footprints in the snow to the hundreds if not thousands of snowflake dots this shows total dedication to your art! Bravo for such awesome uniqueness!

This is a drawing that could be included in a children's book.

The colors catch the eye and those footprints in the snow are a really nice touch.

This is definitely a Great entry for the contest. Well done Troop ~ Top

This is just lovely. As I have said before, you changed my marking system, as all you turn out is excellent, ALL. Your work is always excellent. Has anyone ever asked you what I get asked all the while /majority A 4's because of lack of space and funds/ why don't you paint large?

    like i said before dear..doing that is like gigging me just because im doing good. its like spanking a child for doing the right thing. im just a small fish in a big ole ocean surrounded by umpteen million fellow artist. by downgrading would be like me walking thru quicksand..something to think about..your choice..it still does not change my opinion or review of your work..but if you want to downgrade me that is your choice. wink.

    I have just moved back to an ethnic area, but I am a foreigner, so not much difference.
Comment from Glena Jessee-King


Beautifully drawn and so precious. I just gave my last "6". The colorful clothing, trees on each side of the path home depicts the title very well. And, the older child showing love and tenderness toward the younger adds meaning, even as brother to sister or older sibling to the younger one. Wonderful work and inspiration as usual with your words.

This cartoon is intriguing. Even as we do not see the their faces, we receive that the children enjoy the walk through the snowy woods. Their poses and their tracks indicate their movement. I almost can see them walk. The snowflakes fall slow. There is no wind. The winter-world is quite. The perspective is excellent. How the path leads our view into the background is perfect. The tree trunks emphasize the perspective perfectly. The colors are appealing. The cartoon is expertly composed and framed. The composition is balanced.
