As a part of my goal to make more art, I have been working on a bunch of portraits. I am a self-taught artist and have also taken lessons from a very close family friend who is also a professional artist, Greg Johnson of GA.

The result is not at all what I was expecting.

I wish I had taken photos from start to finish, but alas the one time I didn’t.
