Sharon, thank you. It means much to me that you like them, since I'm such an admirer of your work. You're very inspiring and make me want to be more dedicated and to work more from life.
Thank you much Cynthia!
Joyce, I'm so happy you like them. I do have more commissions, even four more of four of these children, so you may see them again but in different poses.

I'm adding a few more drawings. The first one i'm especially fond of and was done shortly before Christmas. The last two I just did. Don't know how to compress images properly, so these are pretty small. If anyone is curious to see them larger, let me know . I'll provide a link to a better image. Thanks for looking!
edit: on second thoughts, here's a link to that first image:

Beautiful drawings, Christy !
It's very hard to obtain this fresh feeling from a photo, and to resist to the temptation of overworking.
I like a lot the combination of line work and mass work, and also you're very good at choosing the right pose and expression.

You have combined very confident, bold strokes with soft values and expressions. Nothing wimpy here yet your subjects remain soft and emotionally powerful at the same time. Snap crackle pop.

Christy, this is very impressive work - you have a wonderful, fresh, sensitive touch and you really do capture that childhood aroma of vulnerability and hope. Keep them coming!
