Here are a couple of drawings. The lady is my beloved mother-in-law from a photo taken in 1977. It is pastel pencils on Canson Mi-Teintes toned paper.

Can anyone identify the following man? It is graphite and white charcoal on toned mixed media paper.

Thanks, Patricia. My MIL’s name is Patricia, also. 🙂

Yes, it is Ronald Reagan. While I was working on him, I was fretting that I was not getting the likeness. I just knew it didn’t look like him. But, after giving my eyes a break, he looks like himself. LOL!
