Thanks for the compliment, Jeff.

You should really enjoy drawing your niece. It is pleasure to study a face that is already familiar to you (well, you know this already by drawing your wife!) Danielle sat for me three times and it was really what enabled me to pull this portrait off, since my photo was not real accurate. There was distortion in the photos so I had to go back and have Danielle sit for me again to be sure I was not exaggerating her features.

I am looking forward to seeing what you do, Jeff. I like your drawings, a lot. Tell me, which one of us is going to get up the nerve to start in color?? I have NO experience so it intimidates me. However, my resolution is to begin with oils before spring! How about you?
