Yes, I'm a slacker

Alright, I know it's been a while.  I have two new pics to post.  My mom came to visit, so I got a bit behind.  We had a nice time though and I got some good photos of my nephew for some future paintings.  :)  Anyway, the first picture I'm posting is a drawing of my dad's mom when she was a little girl.  I know, I know, I'm stealing the photo for a reference.  My time machine is broken so I had no choice.  I gave this drawing to my dad for his birthday.  The next piece is one that I did for a short course that I took from my favorite professer in college, Adrian VanSuchtelen.  It's a conte crayon/chalk pastel drawing on a prepared ground.  I've not done anything like it since my college days.
