Recently I’ve been experimenting with painted backgrounds and looser styles of drawing. This series of portraits of my daughter-in-law, Juliet Cook, were inspired by her unique self-portrait photographs. Not only is her subject beautiful, but her ability to obtain such varied looks using different angles, hairstyles and expressions make her compositions a joy (and a challenge) to draw. Thanks, Juliet, for sharing your talents and allowing my imperfect interpretations of them.
