I scanned it so am able to zoom in to get detail.<BR/><BR/>As I work on this, it feels a bit odd, I can't pinpoint it exactly. Maybe just recreating the past does that.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-83701907121822216682008-04-14T19:22:00.000-02:302008-04-14T19:22:00.000-02:30I think your use of the word 'unnerving' is most a...I think your use of the word 'unnerving' is most appropriate. I find that when I work on a still life or a flower blossom, I am excited when the image starts to 'come to life'. It is different with a portrait. It is a different feeling and I think 'unnerving' captures the experience well. <BR/><BR/>From the line drawing it looks like you are fortunate to have a very good photo to work from. His expression is wonderful. You are off to a great start...thanks for sharing this with us.Teresa Mallenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17978596700598817430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-59085665311351919702008-04-14T12:50:00.000-02:302008-04-14T12:50:00.000-02:30Yes, people say that Jeanne.The portrait is keepin...Yes, people say that Jeanne.<BR/><BR/>The portrait is keeping me at the drawing table a lot, It also feels a bit odd too as his features unfold under the tip of my pencil.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-61770095443747803232008-04-14T11:59:00.000-02:302008-04-14T11:59:00.000-02:30Your story is touching...My father passed away som...Your story is touching...My father passed away some years ago and I have yet to be able to a portrait of him.
