Thank you, dear Anne-Marie. I drew this last night, but couldn't get on this website to post it, then. I wanted to see how colored pencils would work on heavy manila tagboard. I am still experimenting with the colored pencils. I don't feel quite at home with them yet.

WOW ! What a beautiful present for Biggs ! She will like it !!!

Thank you, Sellia. I hope you are right! I spent about 4 hours on this last night. Time flies when you are having fun.

Thank you Bea. There are still a couple of changes I would make on this one, but it is a little late now. Mainly, I would de-emphasize her lower eyelashes.

superbe!!!!

Thank you so very much.

Bravooo! Los colores enérgicos y muy bellos! Very Good dear Joyce.

Muchas gracias, mi querido amigo, Marino. Poco a poco voy avanzando hacia lápices de colores, pero yo soy todavía más "en casa" con los de grafito. Tenía que hacer algo con el conjunto de 120 de lápices de colores de mi marido me dio un regalo de cumpleaños para este año. También me compró un escritorio de arte con un tablero de dibujo que se inclina, una pinza para la lámpara de halógeno, y una silla para mi estación de arte nuevo. Estoy bien equipado ahora.

Great. I'm glad. Beautiful days my dear Joyce.

Very beautiful!!!

Thank you, dear Biggs. I am glad my portrait of Candice pleases you. I hoped that it would.

Great job Joyce, she's very nice like that.. I love this actress, she was very talented, I remember of her in an original (but violent) western, SOLDIER BLUE...

Thank you, didgiv. I didn't see that movie, but I watched Candice as Murphy Brown in the TV show by the same name, which lasted 10 years. Also a couple of more recent TV shows. I Have always liked her, too. I also liked and remember her father, Edgar Bergen, the ventriloquist, and his "dummy," Charlie McCarthy.

Beautiful

Thank you, Joey.
