Love such a tribute Linda.
You say it was the best photo they had, but I actually really like the candid pose.
Beautiful pencil work, so realistic, you have a great talent!
I am sure they absolutely LOVED it!

Keep creating,
Ann, OpenroadFootprint

Great painting of grandpa who is questioning why is someone taking his picture. Nicely done with great shades of black and white that presented this man so well.

Comment from Barbara L Manne


I am total embarrassed not having 6 stars to reward this fantastic drawing! Your technical skills show attention to realism and detail. Proportions are accurate. The highlights and shadows give the implied texture of the shirt. Your subject has depth and looks like a photograph. I am sure the woman you drew this portrait for was amazed and grateful for capturing the character of her grandfather. Beautiful work...and I am sure it was a gratifying experience for you as well!
