Tale of Grace That's All Her Own

[Patricia Joyce]

Alexandra, Richard, Garth, Janet,
Thank you for your kind remarks. This is by far my favorite drawing thus far in my "career". To be able to capture her knowing eyes was a treat! The little portrait went over extremely well at the party last night. Kevin and Abbey both got very teary eyed and they just love it, of course then I teared up ... ah it is common on my family.

Richard, you are so kind, and yes I am WAY too young to be a grandmother Actually the beauty of having your children at a young age is that you get to be a healthy grandmother. My oldest son is expecting their first, they know it is a girl and her name is . . .

Alexandra!!!

Thanks Alexandra for your warm remark, I do think she is going to delight us alll over the years. She already had a large basket with art supplies building in the corner of my studio!

Garth glad you like the simplicity, I knew this would be small and a study of her facial mask only, to intensify the emotional reaction of the viewer.

Janet, yes, it sems like yesterday my boys were this young. Life goes by so fast. Makes it all the more precious.

Pat, I love this! I love those baby eyes, and that baby mouth! Your family will treasure this.

Thank you Debra!! I am posting a better pic which shows it in it's matting. I am still struggling with matting and framing my work and it is too expensive at this point to take to a framer

This is so precious. Words are inadequate to express the feeling captured in this work. A treasure.
