Fantasy portrait of my sister and a best friend. Happy Birthday Martina! ------------------------ 11"x14". I had to crop some of the frame...since my computer scans only 8x10s. Usually I take photos of works larger then 8x10....but my camera was being difficult this morning. The top corners have couple faeries that you cannot see. Done in pencil, colored pencil and acrylics

amazing work you doCharles Jones 20 Aug 2005
The composition and ornamention are really good and you seem to be continually improving at doing portraits, not that I can see how you can do it better. You are developing quite an interesting and unique style of your own. I like the way you rendered the leaves and you did the cherry blossoms? really well. The bee is a nice touch.stan jones 20 Aug 2005
