Kathryn, I'm SO glad I saw your Bob Dylan, then you commented on so many of my works, or I might have missed out on your portfolio, which is ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT. Everything in it!
Welcome to AW, Kathryn! And thanks for your comment.
Very pronounced and differentiating pencil work - very rare this way. It is the hard way, because naturally it is rather to be an artistic interpretation and not an attempt to gray-scale copying of a photo. Therefore this work shows your skills in both: translating individual perception and dealing with the pencil.
Incredible work! Kat! I knew it was him...he lives on forever Pilgrim! great lines and use of your graphite! Welcome to AW. Hope you love it here. Happy New year too. Nice to meet you on line!
