This was a commission for a man of his mother who died three years ago. I never knew her. The only photo I had was a small pic on the cover of the funeral program. They said that I captured her. I’m glad, because there was no way for me to know.

It is 12x16 pastel pencils and soft pastels on brown Canson MiTientes paper.

Looks really good, not knowing the lady, you must have captured her and I can see why the family was pleased.
