Many thanks, umberto.

How wonderful to come onto the site and there's Jojemo's amazing creation of Salma Hayek on the top of the pops ... oh well the recents at least - . Wonderful job Joje-Jojo, how you manage day after day to achieve this is fantastic.

Thank you, Jeanne. I think something is driving me to draw something at least every other day, and sometimes two days in a row. At my age, I will not have many days left in which to draw. Already the glaucoma in my eyes, and arthritis in my hands is starting to take a toll. But, hopefully God will allow me to have fun a little longer. I give Him credit for any talent I may have. I have never taken Art lessons. I have only had art classes in grade school, Junior High, and High School. I went to college one semester (San Antonio Jr. College), but then we moved to OKC. I went to work in a department store (ladies fashion) then in a bank, and I never got back to college.

... Sometimes I look at my pictures and I think "How did I manage to do that???" ... I always give the credit to my guides - the spiritual forces that show us the way. I took art lessons for a while in the evenings when I was at commercial college. Nothing prolific. A lot of people on this site don't have any formal training ... we're all guided here to learn from each other. I love this site so much, it brought new meaning to my life.

Yes, I love this site,also. It is wonderful to see how many different ways people express themselves in their Art.

gorgeous !!!

Many thanks, mafiosa.

You're welcome; I thank you, too, for your kindness, dear Joyce!!

woow! this portrait is really awesome!! I like everything in it! congratulations Joyce! you did a great work!

Thank you, Nihale. I DID spend more time on this one, than I usually do.

Hi Joyce! excuse me I'm very late! I was very busy... it's a good thing to spend much time on a work then to get a beautiful result such as this one; I like to look to my drawings which I spent more time on

Yes, a little extra time spent upon a drawing usually reaps bigger dividends. I move slower with colored pencils, as I am still not sure what to do with them.

You draw very well with colored pencils

Thanks, Nihale. I am trying hard to draw with colored pencils, but they are stubborn things. They do not handle as easily as graphite pencils.

very very beautiful , so fantastic likeness

My sincere thanks. Joyce

GREAT!!!

Thanks, Chantal. I believe this is one of my better drawings,
