Bob

This is a portrait of Bob Carr that I just finished; it's a surprise gift for Alberta. I sure hope I did the old guy justice.

9x12", pencil on watercolor paper:

You are my AMAZING SUPER FRIEND!! This is so going to make her cry, but in the best way ever. That you did this is one of the bazillion reasons I love you so much!!

[lacyunderall]

yeah, it's going to make her cry, hopefully until her cry pump breaks. she needs a breather.

love you.

oh, and thanks for the use of hat on/hat off guy icon!

[tinywarrior]

Hahahaha!! Hats off, m'dear! Hats off!

I looked at this for a while and actually feel like I knew the guy. Maybe still know him. You are blazingly talented. I live in MA, does your budget allow for flights abroad to do fambly portraits?

[lacyunderall]

what a fantastic compliment. the portrait ended up looking more like my idealized version of bob than the photo actually *is* but not startlingly dissimilar.

i wish i had a travel budget. do you have a photo you love of the clan? or separate shots?

Oh Donna, it's just wonderful. There's so much character captured in this portrait. xoxo
