Life drawing and portraits are perhaps the hardest of all the painterly disciplines. People have character — personality! You can get the features "right" and still miss the essence of the person. And life drawing sessions — especially "gestures" — are the best fitness routine there are for an artist!

​

These are some of my attempts, but not all. As many of my portraits have been gifts for family or commissions, they are not mine to display here.
