Portrait of Dex~ my son's birthday prezzie for his sister!

Good portrait ..!
how long did your son take to create the pic ?

That's a nice thoughtful gift Arlene.

Wonderful portrait and present clever son and lucky sister.

~ thanks TT , Pottygardener and Sixpence~he is good if he can be persuaded!
~still hoping for a portrait of Harvey!
It took about a week doing it a few hours at a time in his spare time~totally in pencil!

lovely portrait arlene, nice gift :o)

~thanks Sandra~ she certainly appreciates what he does for her!

Very talented lad there Arlene..lovely portrait.....x

~ thanks Ray!~the lighting wasn't right but I hope to get a better one~

Yes very talented. Wish I had that sort of aptitude.

Oh WOW...I hadn't realised he had drawn it! I thought he had it done. Clever lad!

~ Potty he had a pencil in his hands and was drawing as soon as he could hold one! it's great when we play Pictionary as he does these lovely little mini sketches!~ my father was good too~managed to miss me though!

Same here Arlene....my Dad could could paint, draw and sculpt. Both of my children are either artistic or creative, but not me! I often wish I could. Do you think it skips a generation? !

Oh, and Happy New Year to you and yours.

~ I am told we have talents in other directions like use of colour etc but it would have been nice to be able to draw~of course the arthritis doesn't help ~I am lucky if I can write some days!
Happy and healthy 2010!

You have a very talented and clever son Arlene , I can hardly draw a straight line .. I do envy people with this talent , maybe you are right in that we can do other things instead .. :o)

I am impressed with your sons artwork... You are lucky to get to have his work on your walls...Sweet! I noticed the little statue dog there...I am sure it is from a line I used to carry. Very fun line...
