This didn't copy well, it's better in the real. The hat was what attracted me to this pretty girl. I asked if she'd pose and this was the best.

About Me
- Pierre
- Long, long ago, during the last century, I attended PSU in Portland, Oregon and bounced around in different majors. I thought I would be an artist for a while but science captured my interest. I eventually landed in Engineering and spent my career designing various mechanical things. I've returned to my artist roots and have been drawing portraits. For now, I'm only working in graphite. I'm also just drawing from photos. That way, I don't have to be concerned about my subject getting too tired to hold a pose. I like doing candid shots of strangers because it makes for a more interesting subject. --- My wife and I have moved to Phoenix, Arizona from Oregon to be close to our kids and grandkids. What a weather change! Our children grew up in the Pacific Northwest around rain and green but they all congregated in Phoenix. The moss on our backs has dryed up and fallen off. We're slowly getting accustomed to dry and brown.

You do such fine work, such very fine work. I put it into my picasa so I could darken and highlight a little bit to capture it all.
Thanks Karin. You're pretty fine at working too. What's a picasa?
Just a photo thingy where you can crop and enlarge and so forth. Oh, but I have the photo I'd love you to try -- it's my favorite, and it's of me and my dog Bru in the Anza Borrego desert. Need to prevail upon a friend of mine who has a better scanner before I send. Thank you!
File should be jpg or pdf. Send it to pslaplante@cox.net
