I cannot say enough good things about this portrait. The interplay of jagged and smooth, of dark and light, is perfect. So subtle and so strong. Incredible!
Artist Reply: Guest, I love when someone really really loves a piece I do, that I, finally, feel good about. I think I worked on this at length 3 times. I thought I'd better stop before I ruined it. In short, thanks so much!!!!

Awesome Job Mom!!!
Send him your art work.
Artist Reply: Heee!!!! I might, but thanks very a lot!! :-))
its wonderful art Carliss not sure where you have a problem with it
Artist Reply: Thanks, Cynthia! The problem was with the background, and the eye on his left, the hair was not quite the way it should have been either. Overall, it's nothing to complain about.
carliss i miss lots of people work here and ofcourse your work is always fantastic...i been busy but soon i be back....to support art .....OUTSTANDING PIECE
Artist Reply: Bianca, thanks a trillion, and I hope you've seen that I've commented quite a few times on your websit, too!
the lighting and shadows are amazing, the detail around the eyes is remarkable, you really know how to capture a humans true spirit
Artist Reply: John, thanks for your most generous, and supportive comment! I guess I should not complain about this one so much. It seems to be getting good reception.
Looks great to me. Love the pose. The darks and lights are always right on.
Artist Reply: Penny, you know sometimes when you feel like you have somewhat of an understanding of what you see? I suppose I'm just being extra critical at times when I don't need to be. Thanks, though for your positive view on this!
WOW, Carliss!! This is almost photographic. REALLY amazing work!
Artist Reply: Hey busy lady!! Saw your latest, and you're still doing a stellar job with all that henna work. Thanks for your comment, and glad you like it!!!
Artist Reply: Vblair, pencils can set me back a few paces when I mess up. I know it could have been really more of a disappointment. I just have to keep on truckin'
Thank you for your kind words!!
I still think it looks great! Wish I could do this! ^_^
Artist Reply: Thanks, Francis! You can do it! Have you looked back at some of the stuff I uploaded in 2005? 2006, too! I still slip up. Practice, practice, etc. what you've learned as you go along.
