Father and son

This is very, very nice, Helene. Did they pose for you or is it from memory? Either way you’ve captured something special between the two men.

Thanks Paul and Bernd.

Very nice texture used here – - I am not an artist – like drawing. but really good.
I always found the noses hard to draw.

This lovely Helene.

Wow. I would never have thought about it to use those pastels this way. Great. Gee, you have a great techniqe. Pfew, makes me feel humble. The coincidences go on. Not only the working spaces, but I was doing a portrait in pastel too. Not sure if I dare to put it on yet.

Now this is talent. A departure from the norm Helene, but equally superb

Fantastic art my friend from far away place:)

A great photo capture in the first place Helene and your drawing is superb! I’m so glad you’re not building anymore houses and continuing with your artwork instead!

Lots of great psychology going on here—a wonderful, warm moment!

Great work!!

Thanks for your wonderful comments everyone!
Martin another coincidence – but please post it. I’d love to see what you’ve been up to! :o)

Hi Helene!!...love the work emerging…you have such talent!!
