Cheyenne is a 7 years old little girl living near my house. She loves to visit me every day and I try to teach her how to draw and so on. She loves my cats and garden. Recently I took several photographs of her. Last night I worked with Corel draw and paint. After using many filters and tools this portrait came out. I am very proud of the results. I hope you love it to. Here is Cheyenne! Have a wonderful sunday all of you. Image copyright: Thea Walstra

So expressive, This touches the heart.Elton Houck 15 Aug 2006
It is truly wonderful...You captured the cdhild and the mood of her deep reverie...and we become part of her world for a moment...and we wonder what is perplexing her, is seh sad, happy, despondent, or boered and merely indifferent? It is really really a tremendous portrait and much more than a portrait Thea...it is a slice of life, a passageway into the human soul...Laurie Crouse 14 Aug 2006
Very beautiful portrait Thea! Very well done!Les Jobes 11 Aug 2006
You have done incredible work with the filters.. the background work is lovely, so soft and gently faded, a Renoir quality, while the foreground area has an almost 3Dness-a surrealness if you will... One expects to see her move! FABulous work Thea!!! BRAVO my friend!! You should be proud!! :o)stephanie atlee 11 Aug 2006
