    Smile My Husband’s Portrait!

    My DH has been after me for some time to do a portrait of him. I told him I was only comfortable drawing and painting wildlife, but finally relented when he put on his best “cowboy gear”. I had a lot of fun doing the portrait in pastels - one of my favorite mediums. Thought you would like to see another of my art projects - feedback welcome!

    Nice! Just think of him as local "wildlife!"

    Did he pose while you did it or did you do from a photo? If you did it from photo, would love to see the painting and photo next to one another.

    Very cool....you are so talented!!!

    Pastel -could you give a closer shot of the portrait? The whole effect of the medium for the portrait is sharp in detail. Lucky you, to feel so comfortable working in pastel.
