Gone but not forgotton

This beautiful young man has left us to join his heavenly father at the very young age of 19. He was a very good friend of my sons and his birthday was just last week. I drew this portrait as a rememberance for his loving parents. This is my tribute to "DEREK"

Dear Penny, thank you for your kind note. I have found that passion for your work is almost always one of the key ingredients to producing stunning work. This portrait of Derek shows a lot of heart!... Keep up the good work. Also, sorry I have not made any comments up until now. I find my time is stretched very thin, though I am always glad to encourage other artists whenever I have a moment.
