This is a portrait I did of a dear student of mine. He made each day a joy to work, and I will keep in touch with him. He's graduating to go to go on to high school next year. I will miss his daily morning greeting and big smile. I digitally painted this using Painter X software. I used pastels, airbrush, and blenders in a mixed medium to paint this, one stroke at a time. Not a manipulated photo.

Terry, your fondness for this child shines in this piece! I can tell you will miss him dearly! But, I'll just bet he will be back to visit his favorite teacher over the coming years! You should be very proud! Laurie :)Kwabena Poku 28 May 2006
