Here, Hehas a dreamy look. I wanted to call it "This Boy," after the song by the Beatles, but I have decided to call it the ET Insider, just in case the younger fans don't know the song. Changed my mind. I've added "This Boy" to the title. I love that song.

Jerrie Glasper 20 Dec 2006

Hello Carliss. You mentioned that you are not, yet, fluent with color. I submit to you that it is only a mental block. Is not black and white a "nuetral" color, but nevertheless a color? try layering light colors first, then a slightly increased gradation of that same color. of course be sure to use fixative between ea. layer to stop smudging. OR, pretend that the colored pencils are black or white pencils. Just an unsolicited suggestion from an admirer of your art. The best to you.

Artist Reply: So true, Jerrie! It is a mental block. If you see the sparce examples of my color work you will see that I also lack patience. Thank you! I appreciate your suggestions very much! Your work is so great! I will eventually get my "true grit" together, and work on it earnestly.
