Every once in a while I browse through all of your drawings, and it is always a pleasure to see Kelsey's beautiful face collected with all of your amazing treasures! I can never thank you enough for drawing this for her, for us! Much love to you, Em

I like this one very much. Your approach is subtle and beautiful. She has a pretty face, a nice expression, and you you captured the contuors of her face extremely well through the expert use of values describing the shadows. It's great.

Well, you've gone and done it again, completely knocked my socks off..... I am at a loss for words, completely stunned, awed, and totally in tears.... Kelsey's jaw hit the deck when she saw this....the entire family sat here crying, smiling, clapping...it was a beautiful moment. It's amazing what your gift can give people...what's even more amazing is that you utilize this most amazing talent by extending your selflessness and graciousness to others rather than selling out and cashing in as much as you can. You karma is glowing Renata. Your generosity and love for art is making people everywhere feel love and kindness, respect and gentleness....Your work brings peace, and for that I believe you to be a true angel. Thank you so much, Renata....I don't think Kelsey, myself or her father can ever thank you enough. Much love to you, Jim, Jassy and Shayne.... Em
