Pencil and Ink on Strathmore Drawing Medium 130 gsm

Thank you Debra. Emotion is the overriding essence of life. What is a painting without emotions. I am lucky to have people like you who understand.
Debra Chmelina
I think the greyscale works here as it leaves a lot to the imagination. I also want to say, you have a gift for showing emotion in all of your portraits.
