A NICE LITTLE PORTRAIT















I've been developing and experimenting with the notan style of drawing and have been quite successful with the outcome. This is my latest portrait done for a friend of the family of their little girl, Nicki. What I enjoyed most about this work was the preparation for it. Originally the photo was an indoor shot with a rug as a background. So with the magic of Photoshop 6.0 I placed the little girl in an English garden along with the white rabbit.

As always the proceeds from my paintings/drawings will go to the Holy Cross Orthodox Church where the money will go to much better use than I could ever find for it. It is, after all, the only way I can give back a little for the wonderful gift of art that was given to me.

Kayla - thank you so much for the nice compliments and for the blessings.

Alina - WoW! Talk about a pleasant surprise. How you doing, Buddy? I should hope you're giving Disney studios a run for their money by now :-)
