I wanted to show the girls as rough, dirty, old and young, I know very little of these women or of the area they come from, most of what I referenced, was in language's I do not understand, but even still I felt how hard life must be for them and upon them physically, so off I went with my version of Armando's wonderful Idea and Original work.
WOW I can't believe the whole day is gone, I did get more pens and continued working on it to this point.
I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to anyone, it's just... well as you can see above, I was kinda busy, I think I am a bit of a details freak, LOL.
OK going to work on color version now.

I already know my father's painting. Your version is better for sure. (Just renouncing to the legacy... LOL:-)Minerva Bloom 30 Jul 2008
Pam, I just wanted to say that you brought such intensity and depth of emotion to this piece, with this gritty style. Well done, well done Pam!margaret mckeehan 29 Jul 2008
WONDERFUL WORKOlga van Dijk 29 Jul 2008
WOW... another wonderful piece of art inspired by Armando Salas' Peixeiras! You succeeded in showing the rough life these people have, but also their beauty! Bravo Pam!! --Love and Light~OLGAArmando Salas 29 Jul 2008
Eighteen artists (I'm included) are involved in this project until now. I was tninking about a "standard" comment for all people. Although you all are the real artists, it's as if your creatures were "my kids". Does a father show preferences? Not at all. All of them, sons and daughters are beautiful and loved. I'll not like to hurt someone because I write "Wonderful" to one and "Lovely" to another one. I must be cautious because I know all people put the same feelings and passion for art in their work. When I got this idea I thought: "If I'm lucky, perhaps 3-4 artists..." I cannot suspect 17 TALENTED artists more (by now :-) were ready to share this strange experience. Sorry my English knowledge isn't good enough to express my feelings but all of you must know I truly appreciate your endless support in all I do or start. Yes, this one is my STANDARD comment. AMAZING WORK! I feel myself honored because you are part of my project and my heart. No more words are needed. Thank you very much. I love you.Anneke Hut 28 Jul 2008
