I especially love your "child within" portraits.. I do the same thing only with digital painting. People cry when they connect with who they were... This one is exquisite!
this is lovely! I especially like--and admire--the bold lines around the mouth, eyes & nose (mine usually end up being really sketchy) ...and the idea for this portrait is great as well!! (I might have to try it sometime!)
What a FANTASTIC idea! And what a beautiful subject you had to work with--I have no doubt she was thrilled at the result! (weird to know what you're granddaughter would look like!) :) Love it! -Kerra
these portraits are beautiful and really capture what i looked like then and now. i haven't seen a portrait/photo of myself when i was young in many many years. it brings back a lot of great memories. thank you so much!

Artist Reply: Thank you Dee, you always have the kindest things to say. What a dear lady you are. I am so pleased that you look and comment on my work.
Spectacular Pen, just the right pose, you can see the strong resemblence in the ages. Like the attention to detail in the little pendant. Im sure she will be happy.
Artist Reply: Thank you Steven. I hope she is happy with it. I am still waiting to show it to her. I can't wait to see what she thinks.
