Artist's Comments

This is a commission for a lady at work. Barb. She has gone and gotten it professionally framed and matted, and came and brought it to work today! I have to say WOW!! That look amazing framed!!! So rewarding!!! It gave me shivers seeing it!!

This commission is of Barbs father who passed away about 6-7 months ago. This commission is for Barbs mother, and Barb wanted me to do a composition of her father for her mother, for this coming mothers day, so this weekend.
After seeing it framed, Barb cried.... again. =)

Without the frame this is about 22' x 30'. You can see the actual size with 2 of my coworker holding it. (they wanted to come and look at it) ^^
Took me 40-44hrs to complete. :faint:
The matting is a greenish tint, which brings out the pencil beautifully!!

Materials- mechanical Pencil (HB,2B), stompers, 2B Pencil, HB Pencil, gum eraser. Light... hand... alot of hard work....etc :giggle:

I would like to hear everyones opinion on it. That would be great! :D
