Justin, the Artist's Son

A pencil portrait of my son, Justin at the age of 10, with his miniature pony "Paint". Justin was kneeling, cleaning Paint's hooves at the stables when a chicken fight broke out and while they watched, I snapped this photo of their profiles. Don't worry, the chickens were fine, we broke 'em up...

Precious image and so well rendered. These are inspiring to me as I am working on a portrait of a girl and her pony. It is a commission and I am not confident about the human portrait aspect of it. Love the story with this work, it is just how these moment scome to be. GRAND.

wow they look so real. I really like the placement of the person and the horse a lot! I really like the horse. It feels so real to me. it seems like you had more fun drawing the horse than the child. great job.

Nothing short of a 100 :D

paul pagaran 17 Oct 2004

The horse is remarkable detail. I could swear it's a bw phot. And the kids wrist looks so very realistic, as does his hair. And his shirt. They seem to be in limbo so perhaps it would be nice to have a wooden barnyard wall, maybe. But that's impressive, truly.

Tabitha Borges 17 Oct 2004
