Another Pennsylvanian joins!

[Molly Sherrick Phifer]

Greetings all!

I am thrilled to be able to participate here. It is through this forum that I have learned most of what I know about portraiture. I began working seriously on portraits just a few months ago, though my interest extends back decades. Having retired from corporate work a couple of years ago to pursue home self-employment, I found that I finally could make the time for artwork. Little did I realize how all consuming it would become!

I have spent most of my time working on head studies and slowly working my way toward incorporating more of the figure. My medium at present is pastel, though I am open to expanding at some point.

I am attaching two recent works, my sons ages 13 and 7.
