I know she'll be so delighted, its a wonderful gift, a beautiful drawing Carliss! Reminds me when I was little, our local butcher, (in the 60's) sketched myself and sisters in colour, it was amazing and you know I don't know where the pictures have gone! I'm going to have to phone around and see if one of my sisters has them!
Artist Reply: She was delighted, Kathie. Her comment can be found below, second one up on Sept. 24th. I'm glad this one stirred up a great memory for you, and I hope you find the butcher's drawing of you and you siblings. Thanks very much!!
How precious he is! Wonderful portrait of him Carliss! :)
Artist Reply: Carrie Ann, here I am leaving something undone again. Please forgive my tardiness, and I wanted you to know that I really appreciate your comment on this little guy. Thank you!!
Artist Reply: Oh, Dee! Seems I am so behind in my comments, I can't understand it. I thought I had replied to everyone's comment on Kaiden. Nevertheless, thanks sooo much for your comment!!
How wonderfully adorable this is , Carliss!! You are very talented, my friend!!!
Artist Reply: Steve, thanks so much on this comment about Kaiden! His mom really loved the drawing.

Carliss, this picture is absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for this lovely gift. This first year has flown by and this picture will make the memories last a lifetime. I am blessed to have such a hansome little man. My husband and I will treasure this picture always. Thank you so much!!!! You truly have some awesome talent!!!!
Artist Reply: Oh My Goodness! I guess I didn't read all my responses carefully! I was happy to be able to do this, and my daughter thought it would be a nice gift. She told me how you love him so much, and that is the way it should be. You are lucky to have such a handsome little man, and I am lucky to have a sweet daughter to have this done for you. I hope his first birthday was fantastic, it was a joy to do. Thank you.

Mom,
You did a fabulous job!! The detail is outstanding.
Artist Reply: Thanks, sweety! I hope she liked your gift.
Carliss, you did a great job scupting out the skin tones. I have a blonde haired, blue eyed son with light skin. It is hard to get depth when the range of tones in the skin are so subtle. You did very nicely with this one. Ari
Artist Reply: Ari, thank you! Actually, I did more work to it and wanted to upload a new version, but the time ran out for me to do it. I'm happy that you think this one is nicely done.
