Couldn't agree more. These are beautiful, exceptional drawings. They really don't get much better than this.

Thank you David and Enzie!
No, I did not attend VCU, though I wish that I had. My new studio happens to be just a short walk from the campus.

Christy,
You saved the best for last, at least my favorite is the last one. They are all so delightful! You are going to have happy customers and I suspect you will be busy with more commissions.
Congratulations!

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:

Christy, thank you so much for posting these additional pencil portraits. I can totally see why you have so many commissions lined up!

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.
