I came across a photo I had taken of my Mother, on her 90th Birthday in 1993. I finally got to do it, using 9x12" good-quality paper and colored pencils (Derwent). I've done 3 portraits this week: 2 colored pencils and one acrylics. However the other 2 I do not have permission to post yet.

Had to redo this one

Will do another
