Amazing work. It looks like so real to me as I view it. Indeed,this is a great work of art.

Continue painting and keep us inspiring.

May God be with you always.

Isabel, don't chuck your pencils! But also start doing pastels as well. I CAN'T WAIT to see your pastels...the way you draw, I'm sure they will be incredible!!

Xander, thanks so much for the kind sentiments. I'm going to try to do more painting - I'm devoting my entire summer to drawing and painting - from life. After the Portrait Conference a few weeks ago, I feel like I need to go back to square one.
