a bit of my own

Recently I have begun to compile some of my photography, finally organizing my messy hard drive into something coherent enough to pull together on Picasa. While doing so, I realized I had some scanned images of artwork I have done, so I thought I’d be brave enough to post one here :-) This is a portrait I did of one of my students in Zambia. It was also my first foray into the world of pencil crayons, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that I liked the medium; in the past, I have always gravitated more towards pastels and oils if doing anything more than line sketches . . . so I post this with the qualification that I am by no means a true visual artist–only a dabbler!
