Josee, 11 x 14 inches graphite on paper, gift

Josee, a portrait of one of my nieces. Gift, 11 x 14 inches graphite on paper. Drawing portraits is like brain surgery – one millimeter off, more or less, in any direction makes all the difference between success or failure!

    You are ABSOLUTELY right about that comment. I just took a foray into portraiture and now it’s turned to the wall. Botched surgery!

    This is beautiful.
