  1. I'm very glad to see Yuka's drawings showcased here. She is one of the finest portrait sketch artists I've ever known of. Her work is so realistic, right down to the smallest detail, and I don't think that her portraits of Glenn Gould could ever be surpassed! We are so lucky to be able to witness such a talent. Every time I see another drawing of hers, I [silently] utter a resounding operatic "Bravo, bravo!" from myself to her, in my mind!
