Jared and Great-Grandma Long by David J. Vanderpool

11” x 14” graphite drawing on paper. / copyright 2000. David J. Vanderpool NOTE: This is one of the first drawings I complete, back in 2000, after having given up drawing for 6 years. As you can see my style has changes since then. This is my youngest son when he was about 1 year old, sitting on his great grandmother’s lap. This was recently scanned and a printed copy on drawing paper was given to my father-in-law. This is his mother.

pencil on paper (unknown) drawing – image size: 7.5” wide x 10” high – ORIGINAL SOLD (signed and numbered limited-edition prints are available through my main web site) cynthia’s store Well, I don’t know that I recall that far back anymore – as I did draw this during my thirty ninth summer here on this planet – influenced heavily (think steal!) by the Sir Jones at the Tate. Ah, such a sad little story going on in this tangle. Maybe I was having another pity party… Most likely! / / ALSO, as a T, in my clothing section: / /
