Back to the Drawing Board

Isn't that a cute smile?  I am back at the drawing table.  I
have this portrait to do as a Christmas gift for a client.
Tonight I just have the initial sketch in place.  I will start
doing more of the light shading, and adding some hair.
I hope to be finished soon, as I have one more
after this one to finish also.nc
Stay tuned!

Child's Portrait

I finished up this drawing last night, and I talked

to the client today.  She is coming to pick it up

early in December.  I may still tweak a little!!

Here's Looking at You, Kid, Part II

I have one more child's portrait to finish before Christmas.

This is the same child I drew already, but we wanted one

more try at a different photo. I started on this tonight, and

will try to get through quickly.

I have been selling some art in the gallery as gifts this year.

I get a special joy out of that. It thrills me when someone

wants to have my art in their home, or wants to share it

with someone else. Many of the Greek pieces are going

to be under someone's tree, and I have sold several of

the Paris show pieces as well. So, a big "thank you " goes

out to all of you who have supported me and the gallery

this season. I do so appreciate it!

Another pair of eyes

I have been working and working on this little girl.

I think this is the final draft. I have drawn it completely

three times! It is close to the likeness now. My daughter

is coming home tomorrow, and she will look at it, and

tell me what needs changing. Sometimes it takes another

pair of eyes...

Little Boy Through

I finished this portrait tonight. I will let the client know

tomorrow. She wants me to frame it, so I will have to

do that as well. This is a 12 x 12 drawing (one of the new

sizes I offer), and is $125.00. The framing should run around

$75.00.

This is the time of year that my portrait drawing business

usually picks up. If you would like one done before Christmas,

this is the time to order. I can do it fairly quickly right now;

it will be a longer wait the closer it gets to Christmas. I just need

to work from your photograph. And sometimes it helps if you

send several and I can select the best one. I offer 3 sizes: 12 x 12

11 x 14 and 16 x 20. They are $125, $150, and $250. That does

not include the frame.

If you think you would like to have one done, please email me or

call the gallery. I would love to help make a treasured keepsake

for you.
