Copyright 2006 Colleen Turkington This drawing was done for one of my best friends... here is her comment with regards to the finished portrait. "Your picture made me cry and I needed to tell you. I was an only child. I was my daddy's girl. Whenever I walked into a room, his eyes lit up. ALWAYS. Isn't that a wonderful gift to give someone? I know my husband and my boys love me but their eyes don't light up when I walk into a room. And I thought I had lost that forever. But now all I have to do is look at your drawing because you captured that look he gave me perfectly. *MWAH!*"
