Darla has created three portraits for our family...
One of our daughter and two of our dogs. The portraits are wonderful! She captured every detail from the still photos. We are very happy and cherish the portraits as heirlooms. It is apparent that Darla puts her heart and soul into her creations.~Lori, GA

Bits from my Art Blog
Upload your photo for an instant 'pencil sketch'
- Instant Sketch from your photo
- Turn your photo into a pencil sketch. Not as good as a hand drawn portrait from a photo, but it's fun anyway. Addictive fun effects for your digital photos

- It should be illegal for the box of Milk-Bone dog treats to look so much like a box of Cheez-Its. Don't ask me how I know.
