wow .. this is fantastic masterpiece christine wo0o0o0ow .. stunning contrast ... wo0o0o0ow .. stunning contrast ...

Thanks glad you liked this one I am trying to do white on black still working though and will be doing more!!!

Dear Christine. I have to be honest, I like your old style much better. This turned out much too dark. and the skin tones are not right. This is not your style. No offense, I know you said you were trying something new but that's just the way I feel. I hope you do another natural portrait of Ted my friend. May he rest in peace.

Thanks Jeanette but I am still learning hope to make it better soon. I love doing the reverse of the black on white. Using the highlights is very interesting and fun and fast I might add.

I beg you Christine, please go back to your old style. No offense tut this looks like a dark caricature.

Don't worry Jeanette I will do Ted the way you like and I will dedicate it to you. I am going to keep experimenting because it is through mistakes that we learn. Don't be afraid to try other mediums and colors and the graphites are great too. Just have fun this is not a profession and we are just having fun here!!!

I'm sorry. I don't mean to offend you. I know you are trying something new and that's up to you. Thanks for your wonderful friendship. You are very dear to me.

Very beautiful work !!! Congratulations !

Thanks Sellia he was a wonderful man and a great statesman too!!!

Hi emano thanks so much he will be missed and a great chapter in history has come to an end now!!!

wow..Fantastic, Great Tribute to this great gentleman who has just died of cancer, congratulations my great friend Christine

Oh thanks I am still learning this technique but it is fun to do the differient style of drawing it is very fast and spontaneous. I appreciate your support and more than that your friendship and patience. You are a real sweet person and I am so very lucky to have met you Anne Marie!!!!

I love your new style, it changes and you succeeded to marvel, I am very glad to have you encountered on this site because you're a great artist, wonderful, very talented full of goodness, congratulations again for your fantastic portrait my great friend Christine

Thanks Anne I guess Jeanette does not like it . I promised to do Ted for her my old way. I guess she is afraid a bit of change. I love to mix it up and will be trying lots of new things. You never know what will develope. I would love to do some digital art too. I am working up courage for it!!!

Jeanette is a wonderful artist as you, if Jeanette does not like this style, change, and trying to make a Digital Art,

nice!!!!!!!

Thanks Umberto I am still learning this technique and I am so happy with your support!!!

very good!!!

Thanks Fab so nice to hear from you happy you like my attempt to do Ted in this style. I will do another later in regular graphite but it is soooooo much fun to mix it up a bit!!!!

This might sound funny, but i can sense USA mourning, the Kennedy's were your Royal Family! Its sad that an era has come to an end. A wonderful Tribute Christine!

Not funny at all and this is our Royal Family. But we still have Caroline and for that we are all grateful. This family has had many tradgedies through the years but still we love them I am glad you see how much we all love the Kennedys!!

Ofcourse, i myself was very shocked about the sudden death of John-John and also Jackie, she is such an icon and her fashion sense mindblowing! To top all that, the Kennedy's are/were all really very beautiful people! inside and out!

Yes a lot of tradgedy in the Kennedy family. They were great risk takers and not afraid to stand up for their beliefs. that is what they will be remembered for sticking to their faith and the good they did for society as a whole!!

Amen to that!

great work Christine!!!! RIP...

thanks chantal I am grateful for your friendship and support it is a sad day here that our Ted is gone!!!

I understand...

very cool ! love the shadows , really cool tehnique it's way too beautiful

Hi sweety, yes I too am still learning this technique and hope that in the future I can improve. I used to have a great mentor who said you shouldn't compete in art but there is one person you can compete with that is yourself. So I try new things and hope for the best. That is the only way to improve by making mistakes and going on. God bless you thanks for your support.

Hi Chris,I love this style very very much!It looks super!I have always admired the fact you want and do become better everytime as an artist.Congratulations! The skin tones work,and it looks just fine keep right at this style!

Thanks my dear friend Chris I am having fun trying new things. I know not all of them are going to be hits, Jeanette hates this style but I like it. It is fun to think out of the box!!! After all it is though our mistakes that we learn best!!!!!
