Wow-I’m there.

Very beautiful!

this is amazing!
WOW what a talent
Marlene Piccolin
I agree with all of the above. I really like your rendering of the sand. Just enough to know it IS sand without overdrawing. Her posture and clothes are so natural and her hair! You ‘ve done a fabulous job here. You forget you’re looking at a drawing – like Glenn said “I’m there”.

Beautiful!

This drawing is speaking way more than a similar raw picture taken by camera. I think I know why: a hint of something leaves far more room for imagination and personal interpretation than the blunt, hard lines and details of a regular picture…
Your beautiful drawing gives a hint of a hot summer day, a hint of hot sand, a hint of a child enjoying the balmy water and a hint of the girl looking in the far distance, apparently absent to the life around her, but rather focused somewhere-nowhere in the outside in of her imagination. Absolutely masterful.
I know for a fact that I’m getting good lessons in art from you Alice every time I look at one of your artworks. I think this speaks volumes for your talent and creativity. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

Gosh, I must have missed this wonderful comment! You have brought tears to my eyes and made my day Stan! My daughter, the subject here, is a dreamer, and a very talented artist in her own right. Thank you! Thank you! xx

this is unique !
Alice McMahon ... replied
Thanks Angel! Actually, there are 2 of these out there. A patron bought the original, but it belonged to my husband, so I had to redo it for him, changed slightly of course. The model is my daughter.

This drawing reminds me of Christina’s world by Andrew Wyeth. The pose, the perspective, the pensive nature of the drawing. Just love your work Alice.
Alice McMahon ... replied
Haha! Andrew Wyeth is my favorite artist, and now also the favorite of my daughter, the subject of the drawing. She’s a freshman in art school now. We were in Maine a few years back and went to the Olson’s house and museum, just my daughter and myself. The Wyeths are a big influence for sure. Thanks so much!
