"Deep Thought"

Graphite on Bristol Board, 16"x12". Commission - NFS

Another commissioned portrait. I am still working like a dog to get my Holiday orders completed, but the rest I can hand deliver (as opposed to leaving time for shipping).

"4 Grandkids"

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Graphite on Bristol Board, 12"x16". Commission - NFS

Here is the second commission portrait of the season which is actually a group of four portraits. I have been diligently working to get my Holiday orders completed and still have 2 more to go. I will be posting that in the near future. After that it's back to the paints. It's been a nice break but it will feel good to get back into color.

You can see other samples at www.hand-drawnportraits.com. If you are interested in a commission please feel free to contact me.

Here is a painting I have been putting some time into lately. For the next couple of weeks I will be working on Holiday commissions that are beginning to pile up.
