I love the expression in the hands.

Your color pallet is perfect, it truly gives me memories of childhood in summertime. Everything is beautifully and skillfully done here 👏🏼 👏🏼

The softness! I can almost feel that soft lil tummy! Beautifully done.

This is a triumph! I was just hesitating to sit down and paint because I’m not in the mood for detailing work today. You have inspired me by showing the amazing outcome that is possible with extreme patience and diligence. Thank you for posting!

This is excellent. Your work with the highlights and shadows shows perfect restraint.

The bag! Thanks for including that.

I just keep looking… your treatment of the street in the foreground is to tactile… and that little bit of light shining on the front porch just draws the eyes in… this is dedication to art and appreciation for detail.

Reminds me of Ansel Adams. This is such a striking use of graphite! You’ve created a warmth from within the house, no easy feat when using graphite. Well done and thank you for sharing.

This just made me say “yessss”. Fabulous!

Your grandfather was very talented! Also very confused as to what his savior would actually look like if this fairytale story ever did come true.

I just adore this. Instant lift of the spirit!
