A wonderful portrait Russell.

Breathtakingly good. It's always great to see what can be done with the humble pencil, and nobody does it better than you.

Incredible Russell. You have the art of creating such a wonderful presence in your portraits. Erin is such a natural beauty with your magical ability with pencil.

Sweet (not in a sickly way) and gentle portrayal of innocence Russell.

You can almost hear her thinking, Russell; another brilliant characterization, and exquisitely drawn, my friend; God bless x

A beautiful portrait of a lovely little girl drawn so sensitively in the special way you capture a person so delicately with a pencil.

Gobsmackingly good Russell, such a senstive piece what an amazing portrait artist you are.

Posted by Val Kenyon on Tue 01 Nov 16:27:49

Outstanding! My only slight negative is that I think you should reduce the contrast on the button below her chin. I find it a bit distracting.

Posted by Brian Keen on Tue 22 Nov 22:42:39

Thank you Anne, Jacqueline, Val and Brian. Brian you're absolutely right about that button and I found it distracting too once I saw it on POL. I did tone it down before giving it to Erin's father, but unfortunately I didn't take a photograph of the 'new version.'
