Addison


Addi
11" x 14"


This is my beautiful daughter Addison.  I really enjoyed drawing her, this is only the fifth time I have drawn her but it was fun and her daycare teacher really loves it.

Pencil Portraits


Josi
 A beautiful baby, and a great photo to work from.  I love Josi's emotion and the range of lights and darks made it so enjoyable to draw.  I started painting her but never got around to finishing it.  Maybe next year if time permits.



Addi & Aunt Beulah


I'm so glad I had the opportunity to complete this portrait for my wife great aunt.  One of my daughter's favorite aunt.


Jim
Good photo but rather difficult because of limited (indoor fluorescent) light sources.  There was some reflected light on the underside of his nose and light shadow.  The photo isn't picking up the subtle shift in light. 


The Kids



Gotta love old photos, my wife (middle) and her siblings.  This one was a little unique, from the size 18"x24", I couldn't make it any bigger and I didn't want to crop them in to close or made them smaller.
