LOL it's a year old post. I hope they liked it. It was one of those commissions that was done completely over email, don't know who they are, but they said "will you draw this really fast for a present" I said yeah, send me the money, and I drew it as fast as I could, sent it over night, and got my money and never talked to them again. Makes me feel like such a sad little art whore. Wham! Bam! and then not even a thank you m'aam

They should feel stupid for not saying thanks. I go back and randomly thank people and send them photos of where their art is in my house. Well you know... I even have that whole journal dedicated to stuff I've gotten and bought!

I know, you are always SO GREAT about sending me photos of things framed... you are THE ONLY ONE who has ever done that!! That's why I love drawing for you; you're an artist, you understand how to take care of someone's baby and prove to them that it's okay

Hey my dear, you did a lovely job and I bet they will love it all around. You really did bring out the family resemblance in a very subtle way.

Such happy friendly looking faces, I am very sure the client will love this portrait! The tones are beautiful and so smooth and I love the eyes and smiles. I was reading some of the other comments left and I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for your loss.

I took it out of the notes but I had to do this commission thru the stroke and subsequent lingering hosptial stay and death; it made this very difficult to accomplish given the small time frame I had to work with but I did it (and naturally am deeply unsatistifed with the results, but what can you do.) Thanks for your kind words

All of their eyes and mouths sparkle- catches you right away how happy everyone is! I'm sure the client will love this- don't be too hard on yourself!

The portraits look lovely - you are always your own worst critic and I'm sure your client will understand.
Sorry to hear about your family troubles and subsequent douchebaggery; hope you can pull together and help one another to heal.

Well, I think we've all been churning pretty hard this month.
Things will improve. The energy shift is apparent and obvious... we just need to learn to flow with it.

amazing work....I love the happiness in this portrait. You captured the "family value" and togetherness in this portrait. The tones on the skin is amazing and those smiles are stunning. Incredible detail. This was done with a master's hand.

Again you simply blow me away. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss
Actually, I just submitted my first pencil drawing, well, besides one I did of a dreamcatcher. I decided to try and draw Aaron and was wondering if you'd look at it? I'm not really looking for critique, I just wanted you to see it since you inspire me so much ^^
