Fond Memories

Commissioned portrait for a friend/AW artist Gerry Logan. The photo used to draw this portrait is in her portfolio.

11x14 done in pencil on Bristol board.

My scanner did not scan the whole drawing, so I have also posted a photo of it bellow the scan.

Thank you for looking!

You did a good job capturing him. I'm still a little jealous I wasn't asked to do it, but you did a great job on my grandfather. Well done, Renata. Funny too... when Gerry finally showed it to me, I knew right away it was your work. Bravo. ~SR
