'PAINTING' with BALLPOINT PENS only on 9" x 12" WHITE CANVAS was done in Canada by me when I visited there in July 2008. Riyah is grand daughter of us & daughter of our second son Johnie fredric & Sabena in Canada

Very beautifully done. I have tried ball point pen art and although it is a great medium I find I prefer liquid inks and a pen and brush on vellum. I do not have the touch you have. Great work.
is this actually a pen on the canvas or using the ink from a pen to paint?
Artist Reply: Dear, All my ballpoint pen works are done with ORDINARY WRITING BALLPOINT PENS only. I have multi-color pens including yellow & orange color pens. I am drawing directly on canvas like drawing with pencil. Nothing special. The touch of the pens on canvas is my technique.
You are so talented, Pa!!! This is just amazing work with pen and ink!!!! So unforgiving!! lol She is adorable!!
