I was pretty excited yesterday when I showed this to Robert. Robert Deville is an actor. He played in the Recent Colony Series that was on the Discovery Channel. I was hooked to that show. I watched every episode of it and I fell in love with him as an actor. He is in his 70's but played in a Survival Show as well or better than people in their 20's. He has intelligence and strength and stamina. A wonderful, talented and friendly person. I found him on facebook and we have actually become friends. He likes my artwork and he emailed me not long after we met and wanted me to draw him as a Sheik. I finally was able to do it and when I gave it to him last night he is wanting to commission me to paint it on canvas. He is going to pay me to paint it too. He has even offered to come for a sitting at my house. I am excited that he really loves what I have done, he is even using this picture as his profile picture in facbook. Funny huh? I love it! Thanks again everyone for your comments!

... because we are an international community there are times of day when there are few members signed in.

Many pictures that go on to get high numbers of ratings take time to get there because if the voter didn't see the gallery when it was posted they have to catch up with it.

Thanks! "Big Group Hug" to you, Wungu and Damian! It is nice to know I have so many great friends here to count on for support. Sometimes I need it worse than other times. I am getting a little frustrated trying to finish up all of these drawings so please hang in there with me. I definitely don't want to miss any of you guys drawings either while I am in this process. Commenting and viewing you guys work is just important to me as drawing my own. Just like I said to Wungu...you always make me feel appreciated here and support my work. It really means the world to me. Thanks again!
