The O'Brien Brothers - I Will Protect You by Carliss Mora

walt larsen 20 Nov 2007

excellent drawing

Artist Reply: Walt, I'm so glad that you think so! Thanks bunches!!!!

Cezanne....I must be having a sensory day. Your work is setting my fingertips a tinglin'. I can almost feel the older brothers hair under my hand. The texture of the blanket makes me want to pet it. I want to run my finger tip across the babes lower lip and across his big brothers eyelashes. Nice, nice job!!

Artist Reply: Roh, you're the master at pulling the artist in to grasp what you are feeling. When you do, it transfers to the artist, and makes him/her want to feel that way too. You cause great sensory repercussion, and that is a talent all its own. Thank you, lots, Roh!!!

The expression on the older boy is priceless, Carliss! I just love your work, all of them!!!

Artist Reply: Thanks, Ginger! Doesn't his look give you the feeling of his gentle intent? I think it's another reason why his grandmother wanted this done.
