A portrait of the matriarch in my family. This was a careful study in using vine charcoal and attempting to get the subtle values of shading throughout the piece. I captured a likeness quite well and it is a nice expression that I caught when I photographed this on Christmas day 2014. I really enjoyed creating this work of art. Enjoy!
