Hello everyone,
I've been posting here and there for about a week and I've completely neglected to introduce myself.
I am Erika Nelson from Mission Viejo, California. I believe my sincere interest in people has enabled me to pursue an art career in figurative and portraiture. I tend to work in smaller dimensions because I have some physical issues and because I am wheelchair user.
I am happy to share that my latest charcoal portrait done of myself has been awarded first prize at a local juried show yesterday! I believe it was my most ambitious charcoal to date. 19" x 22" on toned paper.
I also posted the latest oil portrait I'm finishing in the oil mediums section. I am enjoying this great community, I have to thank Chris Saper, Linda Brandon and Mike McCarty for just raving about this place (yup, name dropping - I hope you're all impressed, they are all wonderful people!
)
