This is my dad "Chuck". He is 75 years old and still working 40 hours plus a week. He is the one who first introduced me to art. He has been an artist for as long as I can remember. There is nothing that he couldn't draw. He doesn't draw much anymore due to his eyes. In fact he lost his left eye. I drew this portrait with the way his eye used to look before his injury. I am going to present this to him this weekend. I hope he likes it. Again sorry about the quality of the drawing. It is too big to scan and had to take a picture and they always come out blurry. The one on the bottom was fixed up by Thomas Langeveld. Thanks again Thomas
