Patty,
It a beautiful drawing. I just did a so-so drawing, sitting in on a friend's class, so I'm in the mood for appreciating other artists' fine work with the pencil--my favorite medium for drawing. It takes a lot of hard work, concentration, persistence, and understanding the medium. I feel like I've worked with oils so long I forgot how to use a pencil and I'll have to learn all over again.
Hope you are able to resolve your hand problem soon.

Hi Patty,
This little girl came out beautiful! She has such an engaging look about here and you have rendered her with such finesse. Lovely!
I hope your hand gets better soon. Mine is acting up as well and I have it constantly in a brace. Not a good thing for a portrait artist to have to deal with - so I wish you a speedy recovery!

Oh, MY. Such a delicate and sensitive rendering, Pat.
My sympathies for your hand pain - I hope you can get that resolved without surgery. Might I suggest chiropractic and massage therapy?

Patty,
Every one of your drawings demonstrate your sense of picking the essentials. You never overdo drawings and the parts you do are intense and crisp.
Lovely portrait.

Thank you all for your generous comments and wishes for my hand. Alexandra, Pencil will remain my favorite medium until I master the paintbrush (taking soooo long!!). I have always been drawn tothe suble beauty of graphite and silverpoint (which I want to try some day).
Enzie, it really upset me to hear you too are in a brace. I will keep it in my prayers, dear friend.
I am delivering this portrait and hopefully, if I finish it, the portrait of their dog on Thursday when the designers will be there staging the house. I am mustering up the courage to have a say in where my work should be displayed...
