Portrait of the Boy Jesus


Can you imagine what is must have been like to live in those Bible times and to be born into a life mission to save the world?

I tried to capture this in the look of innocents yet intensity of purpose.

I love to capture more than a likeness; more then the shape of the face figures but to capture the emotion of the moment is what I like to aim for.
This is a close-up of just part of this drawing that I called,
"The Path Before Him."

Faces




I have always been captivated by peoples faces. Never will I forget a face even if I forget the name. Faces tell so much about a person:




  • It tells if they are young or old


  • It tells if they are happy or sad


  • It tells if they are fair or dark or darker


  • It tells if they are male or female (usually)


  • It tells if hardship has been their friend


  • It tells... well so many things...


Faces can tell what is in the soul and what is on the mind. I love trying to capture that most of all. The challenge of capturing the likeness it really important but to capture a mood, a feeling, an emotion or the character of the person is very fulfilling.


This is part of a drawing that I did called, "Crisis Pregnancy Blessed Hope." I tried to imagine what it must have been like for Mary in those days when they would have stoned an unmarried woman who was caught pregnant.

Sally

I just love little girls. This is no one in particular. I just thought she looked like a "Sally" to me. I have 2 girls of my own. Even though they are in their 20's they are still my girls and I have found memories of their childhood when I could dress them in cute little pink dresses.
However, I want to do more people and portraits in particular. I have always been fascinated by people and faces. My friends used to get annoyed with me when I would stare at them or look intently at their mouth while they were talking to me. You can tell so much about a person by their face. You can capture their personality or mood in a portrait. One of my goals is to do just that. Capturing who someone is in a portrait or caricature. That sounds like fun to me because I really do enjoy the uniqueness of each individual.

ESTHER More Than Just A Pretty Face


Esther... more than just a pretty face. As a woman I am more then just a pretty face even though it is getting harder to keep the outer beauty as the years add up. I want to be caring, inspiring, helpful, thoughtful, loving, truthful, a good friend and so much more.

I also want see other women for who they really are. The treasures shining through for all to see or barried deep inside them for me to dig for; both are so rewarding to discover.
