'Abby' is a portrait of my oldest daughter. 'Abby' is rendered using a graphite pencil on 22"x 30" Rives BFK sheet.
I will treasure both my daughter and this piece--forever.
Spectacular!!! This is so real it looks like a photograph! Wonderfully done!
Artist Reply: Thanks, Karen...and that's a big reason I also paint--so I can get away from the 'photo realistic' stuff and allow myself more FREEDOM! When I put a pencil in my hand--I'm always aiming for the details, I think working with pencil just automatically calls for that. \"/
