Portrait #5. Still here, still drawing. The more I draw, the more I realize how much there is to see.

Number four. There's a rhythm forming now—set up, observe, draw, repeat. But every face breaks the pattern in its own way.

Portrait #7. I'm already at the point where doubts are getting loud, but I'm trying to keep going. One face at a time.

Small Portrait #2. Each face is a different story captured in graphite.

A couple of goldfinches visits our balcony occasionally during the summer, enjoying the water and picking from the plants.
