All of your art is incredible! But this one...wow! I agree with what Chance wrote too. f/l
Danielle R T Haney replied:
Thanks so much Doug! It means a lot when the more challenging ones are appreciated~ It's funny- I love riding, but never realized all the intricacies of a bike till I drew this. :-)
Chance Kafka
my gosh, your realism is astounding! I am pretty sure your colored pencil work surpasses the quality of many cameras!
Danielle R T Haney replied:
Thanks for making my day again Chance! Your visits and uplifting words are most appreciated!
Jerry Bokowski
I think We artists love challenges and look forward to taking them on. So you may have a commission/s coming your way? I have 100% confidence in your ability to produce some incredible bikes in the near future!. Can’t wait to see your work. This will always be a favorite!
Danielle R T Haney replied:
Hi Jerry! I definitely agree with that! I'm currently working on a tattoo design which is challenging, but extremely FUN! Thanks so much for your support and confidence- it helps keep me motivated & positive. :-)
Jimmy Carender
Superb intricate detailed drawing Danielle. Amazing work.
Danielle R T Haney replied:
Thanks Jimmy! (Helps when you've got a great subject right? Visited w/ this guy 2 days ago- he's one of those uncles with the most incredible life stories to tell!)

I’m a sucker for Harleys…at some point had 2 antique ones. This is very technical, precise depiction of a special bike. Soft tail - it’s not what I was used to. Did you take a ride?
Danielle R T Haney replied:
:-D I never knew that about you!! Awesome!!! I did take a ride- a few months ago- no helmet law in PA, so we took a slow, back road ride to the Baer motorcycle shop... felt great.. but, my hair was a tangled mess! (Helmets are the way to go- for many reasons.. lol.) Thanks Jürek!

Danielle R T Haney replied:
Aw, Thanks Sweet Lady!! I'm having a blessed week- 2 days ago, at his wife's graveside service, I was amazed to hear this gentleman ^ (my uncle) sing "In the Garden" with the most beautiful singing voice I never knew he had! Love when one's hidden talents are revealed! Great experience! Hope you have a blessed, happy week as well! {Big Hug!} ♡

Oh, Danielle...this drawing brought tears to my eyes...as this reminded me of my dad ( no longer with us ) he was a snappy dresser too...and posed almost in an identical way next to my ex-husband's bike ( it was a red one )..the tie is identical too and the expression on his face...my, word...you really stirred my soul with this one :) not to mention...the amazing...huge talent you have...I am always fascinated with your artwork...and this one...I shall remember forever!! Thank you! hugs xx f.v tw

I`ve always been envious of people who use pencils. How you make things look so lifelike is amazing Danielle. I`m green with envy!

Aw, Thanks Dear Martin! Takes a looong time but I enjoy the entire process!

Wow....what a lovely portrait of him...he must love it a lot, I hope for him...or else...lol..
Danielle R T Haney replied:
:-D hehe ~Thanks Michel! I think he does- he has had it on display in the Baers Harley-Davidson shop in Honesdale, PA (my hometown). He's a pretty awesome uncle. :-)
