Allan – Portrait of a Friend   18" x 24" Pastel on paper

This is a drawing I did in 2007 of a friend of mine. The swirling colors are representative of self expression and artistic vision.

Most of my art is esoteric. I hadn’t drawn a realistic portrait since college. Kept saying I could. Right! My friends would nod their heads and smile. One day Allan challenged me to stop saying and do.  So I drew a portrait of him… this is the result.

    Hi Karl thanks for the kudos. It is… looks just like him. He said this was the first drawing of him done by anyone that remembered him as he is.
