Finally Finished!

I rarely, well I guess I should say never, have time to paint or draw for fun, but on occasion I get an excuse to take time out and actually complete a picture. Justin (Jeremy's brother) got married on Saturday May 24th. As a wedding gift I gave them a portrait done in chalk pastels. With my crazy schedule I only had three days to work on it and only a few hours each day, but with Jeremy's help with the kids I finished it on time for the wedding. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of it before we got it framed, so there is a glare from the glass which makes it hard to see the detail. Anyways, I am pretty happy with it. I am my worst critic and can always find things to fix. Maybe one day in the distant future I will have the time to actually devote to art and be able to improve myself like I'd like to. For now it's nice to have a reason to sit down and draw or paint.
