Oh, yes. This is the modern day interpretation of that song. There is a whole story here, as plain as if you had written it out. Your work is truly first class. Pastel… I have a brand new set and am itching to try them. You inspire me. If this is what can be achieved, wow. And thanks for commenting on Teagan.

amazing work
Thomas Dodd
do you use a light table at all in your work? The extreme photo-realism of your art is truly remarkable.. It makes me think of Scott Rockwell’s work a bit…

Hi imageshifter. Wow! Don’t know how I missed your remark. Not a light table, but I do transfer the image from a photo. I have no problem saying so, have seen too many bad realists, rather it’s right on from the get-go. You would not believe the difference from my poor snaps to the finished art tho. :) That’s where the art comes in. Also, I do draw from life whenever possible. I know my stuff.
Thomas Dodd
You do indeed – I love your work!
Alice McMahon ... replied
Thanks! I checked out that artist you mentioned. Awesome stuff, but I have a bit of growing to do to match that. Inspiring. ~ Alice
Simon Mears
outstanding work to capture his state of mind.. there is a real contentedness there, not a lamaise as i was first going to call it, it’s not laziness.. he’s doing his stuff.. from bed. Cool work
Alice McMahon ... replied
Hi Simon, I get some fun comments on this one. It was featured on Deviant Art a couple of weeks ago, and it was interesting how people seemed to relate to my son’s (model’s) attitude. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it. ~ Alice

Sienna Morris
I love how natural your artwork is. It’s not melodramatic and emotional, but more like little moments of life. Very beautiful.
Alice McMahon ... replied
Thank you very much for that Sienna. Most of the works are created from simple snapshot references of my children. I’m touched you took the time to notice. xx ~ Alice

....wonderful
composition is amazing ….and lol
for the words you have on the side
lovely…lol
Alice McMahon ... replied
soft pastel. :) This one turned out fairly well for having used a very poor snapshot reference I took from across the room – trying to catch him unaware. It was lovely soft natural lighting – classical almost. Thanks cb! xx

Alice McMahon ... replied
