Sandy

Well, a while back Sandy asked me to do a portrait of her beloved husband, Paul. Now, Paul has asked me to do a portrait of his beloved Sandy. I enjoyed working on her. It has been a while since I did a portrait. (January!) But, I was able to pick it right up and go for it. I am happy with it and Paul appears to be happy with it, also.

This is 10×13.5 pastel pencils on toned pastel paper.

Paul’s portrait was done in January 2023, while we were still in Florida.

I am enjoying imagining these portraits framed and on the wall in their lovely home.

Sketching is like dancing. It’s process as much as product. You can turn your head off and just sort of dissolve into the now. Doing a giant, super thought-out painting is the opposite of that. — Molly Crabapple
