Portraits
In every math class or science lab when I should have been listening or taking notes, I was drawing faces. If I am sitting next to you on a plane or in an airport and you fall asleep, you are my unsuspecting subject, model and muse.
The opportunity to paint a portrait is so much more than just the task of capturing features of a person's face.
It is their history, soul and feelings, which rise to the surface as a badge of their courage.
