You are always so great in sketching the animals, what was it like sketching yourself? Norman Rockwell seemed to like painting himself.

  Norman Rockwell, oh to be grouped with such greatness! You know how to stroke a guys ego Gail. 😉 Or do you mean Norman and I are egotistical? 🤔 A self portrait is about the same as any critter. I’m just trying to interpret the shadows. I’m trying to improve doing portraits so it’s good practice. Besides I don’t offend anybody if I do a self portrait and mess it up. 🤪

    No, I was not stroking your ego, you include detail that so many other artists omit, you and Norman include the heart of the subject into your work.

  Thank you so much Yvonne! It’s always a good plan to have a cute dog in the picture then folks don’t notice my mug so much. 😉

Love it! You did a great job. I think self portraits would be the hardest to do.

  Thank you Judy! I don’t know if self portraits are harder than other portraits. I just think portraits are hard, especially pen and ink portraits. I admire people who are really good at it.

Great pictures and a cute looking friend you have there. I used a picture of my Labrador to front up my blog all about what he gets up to. Not my handiwork though, someone else’s drawing. Thanks for sharing these.
