First Efforts




At Karin Wells' suggestion I am starting this thread. She wrote in another thread about how she keeps the first portrait she ever did, for sentimental reasons.

I wish I had the first portrait I ever did. It was a pastel of a high school classmate of mine, a girl from India, in a lovely turquoise sari. I have no idea what happened to it, though I'm sure if I saw the drawing today I'd want to hide it from anyone's view but mine.

A couple of years after that I did five separate pastel portraits of myself, my parents and my two siblings which I had framed and gave to my parents. For over twenty years and through two moves, my parents carted those things around, though they didn't display them. (I suppose they looked like the student work they were!)

Recently my parents downsized to a smaller house and asked me if I wanted them back. I said yes. I'm sure the portraits weren't any good but I wanted them for sentimental reasons. I asked my parents, if it wasn't too much trouble, if they could remove them from the frames for me.

They did. They threw out the drawings and when I came over to get them they proudly gave me the empty frames!
