My grandmother had such an enormous impact on my life; partly because she lived down the street from us for several years, but mostly because I’ve found that my personality resonates quite a bit with what I remember of her. Face 14 is an image of my Grammie late in her life – she is [...]

Ah…to be two years old again!  I love the look of pure joy on a toddler’s face at play.  The portrait for Face #12 was rendered from a photograph of this happy little man playing with his trains.  This portrait captures a momentary break from playing with the train-set to flash an adorable smile towards [...]

There is something very tender about the preteen stage of life.  Face #10 is of a young man who is around 9 or 10 years of age.  His expression is so endearing in the way that it is both a bit timid and mischievous.  Working on this portrait brought me back to the years I [...]

Week 6: Face #6

I love this image!  As a parent, there is nothing better than seeing your baby’s angelic face the first thing in the morning (especially if your baby is happy and well rested).  Face #6 portrays the moment when a child first sees his mom or dad upon awakening.

Week 5: Face #5

February 5, 2010 Family

Have you ever had the experience where someone takes a photograph of you, and even if it is a flattering image, it doesn’t truly resemble you?  It’s incredible to think that something like a photograph, which is capturing a real moment at the time, can reveal something  that doesn’t seem true.  Face #5 is an [...]
