This is a "pencil" original done of a middle-aged Indian, "Split Sky."

The reference photo that I used to draw from was taken by F.W. Glaser, a little-known photographer from Brockton, Massachusetts in 1909. The original is 8"x10.5" overall. It is drawn on medium weight, hot press Crescent Illustration Board. German made Faber-Castell Drawing Pencils were used. The majority of the "pencil' was done with a #4 lead, while the remainder was darkened with a #6 and #8 leads. Total time to complete was 14 hours.

I love your work, but I'd like to see something made by your own head, and not from a photo. use your imagination, you know. Hanna

This is the last one for me to view, and I love it as much as the others. Your pencil drawings are more talented than I Imagined possible. I wonder if you'll ever tire of the number 10 ?
