You have to be one of the best I have seen Ruth!! Your images are excellent, but this one is exquisite!!! Cherished is the perfect title for this image! I will remember this one for a very long time!!! Wonderful job!!! ~S
such incredible pencil work! i am amazed. fantastic artwork ruth. i had my first child 20 months ago and and you have reached me with this piece! i love this so much.
nice detail. i like how you chose to create a centered contrast for a non centered drawing. it equalizes the focus of each object. very well thought out.
Amazing pencil work indeed Ruth .......I'm impressed ! Bravo !
