Portrait of my Mom


18x24 pastel on sanded board: Did this portrait of my mom last year for her Christmas present. Came out very nice but she didn't like that I left a few wrinkles! Almost a disaster as when she opened the wrapping the picture as smeared with dark pastel dust from her hair. The long ride to her house had vibrated the pastel dust over her face. Luckily was able to fix and all was fine. This was the first time I had worked with sanded board and found that I could not erase the same way I did on canson paper.
