Charcoal Love

I'm working through a batch of commission work, some of which is in charcoal. I love working with charcoal, especially portraiture.

Genevieve is out walking (she loves walking in the rain:), searching the gray landscape for touches of color. There's rumor that daffodils are popping out in some areas, and even in Boone, in the mountains where Genevieve is from, tulips … Continue reading Genevieve on Gray
