A portrait of my departed brother in law, Robbie Snowden, who died of Asbestosis in 2009 aged 61, done in Faber Castell and Prisma coloured pencils on a 30×40cm illustration board, 2009. A true labor of love with the original going to my sister.
I am a self taught coloured pencil artist residing in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. My passion at the moment is human portraiture, especially celebrities, as due to their high profile nature the margin for error is minute and an intriguing challenge. I also do commissions, both human and non-human, when the occasion arises. Thank you for viewing my work and feel free to leave any comments, good or bad, and I will certainly respond.
Cheers
Gary

Wonderful portrait Gary. So much character and life experience in this face. Excellent pencil work over-all, but I am especially taken with the work with the eyes. Congratulations on your features and this is a fave for me.
Thank you so much Kate for your lovely comment and you picked it perfectly, he was a ‘very fine’ man.
