Family Portraits

Above: An image of myself, approximate image size, 20 x 12 cm. HB weight graphite and white pastel pencil.
Above: An image of my mother in hospital: the only way to get a picture of her still. About 20 x 12 cm. HB graphite pencil and white pastel. Sketched in about 5 minutes. Even shortly after a surgery, she moves around a lot.
Above: An image of my father at 72 years of age, watching television. He moves far less, and more sluggishly, than my mother. Still, this image was produced in about fifteen minutes. The original is again about 20 x 12 cm, and was made with graphite pencils on heavy paper.
