Thanks to all
Kind words are always appreciated after hard work! Thank you Mike, Lon, and again my gratitude to you Steven.
When I began this study I was concentrating on every line and wrinkle and bump on his face. I wanted to "know" his face as well as I know my own husband's, simply to help with the oil portrait I'm doing. I believe this caused me to accentuate every feature and use a very heavy hand. Later I decided to try to turn it into a good drawing and realized it needed help. You came through again Steven, your concise, picky, critique helped me turn it into a charcoal portrait worthy of framing. Thank you.
My client has seen this and will be framing and placing it in Dean's den. It will be placed by his writing table. His oil portrait will go in their family room next to the fireplace. This is important to me because the client has chosen "places of honor" for both works.
Respectfully,
Jean
