KYLE 8 x 10 Charcoal on Bristol.

Doesn't he remind you of Ron Howard in that Andy Griffith series? Except Ron is a redhead.  This boy has sandy brown hair.  And he doesn't direct movies.  Yet.


Dasha (isn't the name unique, and beautiful?) 8 x 10 Charcoal on Strathmore Bristol

She's his sister, which is usually the case with commissions.  Her name is Russian, as are most of the names for her siblings, who I have had the privilege of drawing in charcoal.  I don't know why, but I find that her hair was particularly fun to draw.  It shows off the variety of color or shades in this case. She is rightfully strawberry blonde, but her hair has changed now.


Mara 8x10 Charcoal on Strathmore Bristol

This family has some of the most beautiful children, and this is one! I actually find any person has some unique gift of looking the way they do.  I've never drawn (or penned) a person that was less than handsome.  Do I use exclamation points too liberally? It's because I truly feel that way.  I text people all with exclamation points all the time, and they probably want to shoot me.
