There is nothing more innocent and peaceful then a child sleeping and you have done a superior job of capturing both aspects of the is chile. There are not enought adjectives to discribe your wonderful work.
wow truely amazing work, I love every one of your portraits. They are perfect to the point that you can't have any need for a camera they are so life like it's incredible. I have selected this one for Pic of the Day, and I have never singled out a piece of work by any artist before, but your work is truely in a class of it's own.

This is...every positive adjective in the book. You are one of the few that can capture and infant and not have it look like a shrunk down old man's face! The shading and the softness....superb.
I was right! You do have a gift and with fear of sounding repetitive your work is amazing, photorealistic in every way! I actually got a lump in my throat lookin at this brought all the memories flooding back of when my 10 and 8 year olds were cute adorable babies.......thank you for sharing Lisa x
I don´t believe what I am seeing. I didn´t know a pencil could be smooth as baby skin. I didn´t know humans can draw like this. Wow I am amazed. Stunning and heartbreakingly cute artwork!!!
An absolute precious work of art times two! Both your granddaughter and the portrait of her! Beautifully drawn. Looks like a photograph with a lot of love blended in.
Such incredible tenderness transmitted by your pencil. Such softness and delicacy, and the light is exquisite. You cannot only draw well but you can transmit emotion through your work. Your soul is in your work and that, that is something that few of us have attainded - as yet.
Wonderful. I'd be crazy to not give you a 10. I can't wait for you to add more pieces to your portfolio. What books or classes did you take to learn this or was it all from self-taught practice?
Wow talk about being amazing. This is exceptional. I love the detail and the realistic feel the flesh has. I feel like I can reach over and feel his breath on my hands. Beautiful, there is one thing I love in this world and that is babies. You blew me away with this one. I can't get enough of it just looking at it gives me the urge to try and draw one too. WOW.
I'm glad too you made it here!!! It's a great place. This one is one of my favorite of yours. Post more. They have to see more of your beautiful artwork!!! :-)
