    The Eye of her Tiger

    jilitaLady Jill
    styles her unstoppable
    spirit

    a capacity for
    exercise,
    laughter,
    play,
    that has
    no
    boundaries

    and this
    pencil
    portrait
    drawing
    with a hint
    of colored pencil
    aims to
    capture
    the Eye
    of her Tiger.

    Pete

    From my archives
    this charcoal
    portrait
    attempted
    to capture the
    soul of
    this kind,
    gentle
    man.

  • Guitar Joe

    Guitar Joe

    One of my
    earlier works,
    1995,
    pencil and charcoal,
    of Guitar Joe,
    thinking
    about…
    guitar pics,
    chords,
    lead lines,
    rhythm,
    harmonies,
    the next tune

    and maybe
    coffee.

  • Ms Beth

    Ms Beth


    Pencil with
    colored pencil
    accents
    captures
    the essence of
    a sweet childhood friend.
    Her smile,
    contagious,
    attracts
    more
    smiles to
    all she meets.

  • Ms. Sylvia

    Ms. Sylvia

    sylviatake2This lady
    gave me the chance
    to ponder smiles,
    how a single
    smile can brighten
    a day,
    how some people
    give smiles
    freely,
    naturally,
    others,
    occasionally,
    and I smile
    just thinking
    about her
    generous gift,
    her sweet spot.

  • Ms. Debora

    Ms. Debora

    Celebrating each day
    with a smile,
    a warm embrace,
    she finds brightness,
    lightness,
    by giving,
    both back and forward,
    and doesn’t everyone
    need a Ms. Debora
    in their life?

  • Lucille

    Lucille

    Lucytake2What I love
    about portrait
    drawing,
    is seeing
    the person
    in ways
    I would have
    likely missed,
    and that twinkle,
    in her eye,
    is oh so
    honestly.

    Sweet Angie

    angie_featuredSweet Angie,
    a beautiful lady,
    sat next to me,
    ringing in the
    New Year,
    and it is the
    simple sweetness,
    in her eyes,
    in her heart,
    that I hoped
    to capture.
