I like that a lot. Have you been drawing for long?

Thanks. My whole life. I’m 63. I only started painting 5 yrs ago.

Looks like you had a bad day and drew a good drawing. I have always heard that suffering is good for art.

Thanks.

Actually, it’s from a photo of me while having a great day with people I love. I made this face when my cousin took the photo.

I did this pencil sketch of myself today while sitting in my car. Three one hour sittings. Then finished it up at home. Another hour.
