Laura & Molly

My friends Bridgette and Dan lost their daughter Laura in August of 2011. I offered to do her portrait after they raved about the portrait I had done of Dave Booth.

They sent a number of digital photos and I did the drawing just after Thanksgiving of 2017. The challenge with Laura was her hands, many artists will tell you hand are the hardest part of the body to draw. When I delivered "Laura" I suggested that a portrait of her sister would look great on the facing wall. I figured they would get back to be after the holidays. The next morning I got an email from Dan telling me I was hired. The email included 40 photos and then he sent me a link Molly's wedding photos. All I had to do was pick a pose that had the sister facing each other in the corner of their parents' Dining Room.

I delivered the second portrait the following week. These portraits are 11 x 15 inches, pencil and white acrylic paint on acid free mat board.
