Avril, thank you so much. I loved your gallery and especially the two images "A lovely young lady" and "another beautiful young lady" Our techniques appear similar and would love to discuss them in more detail with you. #9547301Dale Hardin July 22, 2011

I still read Saturday Evening Post but the artwork is not what it used to be.Excellent work Dale. This does look like a page from an old magazine.
(Your grandaughter makes a lovely model.) #9547562

Lov'n this one, Dale!!Dale Hardin July 22, 2011
Thanks a bunch Carla. #9548504Patricia White July 24, 2011
Your Granddaughter is a beauty. As someone suggested this would be something from the post years ago. You did an excellent job of recreating this time. Your Granddaughter should be very proud to have a Grandfather that is so talented in his work. #9551443Dale Hardin July 24, 2011
thank you Patricia. I'm pretty proud of her too. Her parents did a good job. Betty and I were lucky enough to have her the first two years because both parents worked. #9551708Reynaldo D. Reyes August 04, 2011
