I'm enjoying your drawing techniques. The contrast and of course the subject drew me in.

Artist Reply: Thank you, Bobba! So glad you can enjoy them.

What another cute little guy, great work...deb

Artist Reply: It's hard to think that this little guy is all grown up, and is the uncle of the Nate Mora in another drawing. I took out extra insurance on him as a small child because he was so daring, and reckless! "I'm going to be a stunt-man." He'd say. He's not. Thanks, Debbie!

This work communicates SO MUCH LOVE and HAPPINESS, Carliss. He is absloutely adorable. What a beautiful baby, and your work aint bad either!

Artist Reply: It was so sad, that day! He started walking at 9 months, but this day was his first try. He fell and cracked his forehead head on the corner of the coffee table. He was not happy! Thanks, Janet! I love your comment!

beautifuly done he's a cutie!!

Artist Reply: Jacqueline, thanks so much!! That day, at nine months old he decided to start walking, but he fell, and hit his head on the corner edge of the coffee table. My Mom was just about to pick him up to have his picture taken, and he still looked kind of unhappy throught the eyes. He recovered, but never fell down again. In short, that pic has a lot of baggage, so thanks so much for commenting favorably on it!!!!!

Incredible work...wonderful. Grandpa is still alive in these children.

Artist Reply: Jerie, that is so very kind of you to say. Thank you! My son, here, has really had a hard time accepting that his dad is gone, but you are right. The chin tells it all. He is there.
