I got to give my Dad and my best friend Arnold their high resolution copies of the print that Sharon did for me, here are the pictures.






They both loved it especially Dad, thanks again Sharon

Very , very nice. Super impressed.

Also , great job , Sharon

She’s a heck of an artist mad skills.

Agree with Very Cool!

Nice work Sharon!

Cool as all get out

Dang that Girl is GOOD!!!

Very impressive

My reward to a job well done is seeing the recipients happy with it.

Mike, it is so easy to pick out your father and Arnold. Even though Arnold is older now than the photo I had to draw his likeness, he is still quite recognizable . He looks speechless ....I think in a good way ! Still loves his dew rag .

Those prints reproduced well.

Humans are in a realm of their own in art for me. So different than animals. And I am much more on edge in doing everything I can to make sure the portrait is exactly as the client wishes , wanting them to be happy. Humans really shouldn't be different...it is a mental thing with me. I guess because a dog can't tell me , "You needed to make my spots bigger !"

I love hinting at the fox tracks on the sides. How the gait is at a walk along the bottom and breaks into a trot up each side.

Thank you all for your kind expressions too.

Many thanks, Mike, for showing the happy results. That makes it for me.

Wow! Beautiful work Sharon!! If I'm reding this right, Dad is 100 years old, Right? Any way Happy Birthday a century old is something to be very proud of.

Snowy, Pop is Mikes grandfather , who is upper left of the picture. His father is holding his print , his image is the top right side. Arnold is lower left, and Coyote Talker, Mike , is lower right.

The trap was Pops , has been in the family many years.

Thank you , Snowy. It was a most amazing adventure. Graphite pencils do a brilliant job blending and shading human skin.

I haven't seen Arnold in like 35 years and I recognized him immediately
Great work Sharon

This post just made my morning and brought a little cheerful tear to my eye remembering my Pop long past away now. What a beautiful gift of love.
Sharon your skills definitely shined on this piece. The expression on those men's faces say it all. The father's of joyful happiness, and Arnold's speechless choked up look.

great gift, and great art as always Sharon

Beautiful Amazing talent Sharon!

What a Gift !

Hugs Sharon!!

Made me smile, otter. To have you recognize Arnold after so long a time. Tells me I did ok.

Thanks, Turtle. I see their expressions the same way. All good.

Many thanks, all. It is mostly years of practice. A school that I will never graduate from.

WOW Amazing as always and truer words were never spoke A school that I will never graduate from.

Very true, Pete. I think all the arts are like that. Never stop learning and refining.
