This is a commissioned drawing I did at the end of 2012, a special piece for a customer who bought two existing life drawings and wanted a third sketch of herself. How cool is that?
This was a bit of a challenge for me, as most commissions can be. It is always wonderful that someone loves my work enough to hire me to paint a particular piece they want. And it's a little scary at the same time because the art doesn't yet exist when they hire me and I want the collector to be pleased. I'm happy to say that this was a hit with the customer.
Speaking of challenges, look for the February post tomorrow!

Your charcoal and chalk work is wonderful. I can't decide upon a favorite among them.
And yes, I remember "grasshopper."
Thanks so much for stopping by here, Shirley. Using charcoal and chalk is such a simple technique but a lot can be done with it.
