My Dad

Oil 16x20 on canvas: Did a portrait of my dad not long after he passed away. His name was James Gearld Mosier and he is missed. He came by the house one day and snapped this picture of him on my porch swing.

Portrait of Megan

16x20 pencil charcoal on Arches paper: Portrait of my oldest daughter Megan. She loves wolves and always wears the necklace seen in the picture. All of my daughters are so talented and beautiful!

Portrait of Jenna

16x20 pastel: Here's a portrait of Jenna another one of my daughters. Have done several of this same picture in pastel and oil. I have all three pencil portraits hanging in my office at work.

Portrait of Abby

16x2o pencil, charcoal: Tried out a nice paper from Arches that I really liked. Had not done any serious portrait work in pencil before ( not that I've done any serious work) but had fun doing this one.

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.
