I found a book in my favorite used book store with lots of pics of Ronald Reagan. I have picked out several for portraits. Here is the first one. Charcoal on toned pastel paper, 12x16.

Like how well this flows. Good choice on the reference too. I‘ve looked for Reagan action photos, but was surprised how limited the pool seemed to be. JFK has some that might be fun too.
