What a small world, I just did some freelance for Foreside about a month ago, I hope things are well with you. I checked out your blog and your portrait in pencil is phenominal. Click on Michael Naples blog (above) and link over to his web sight to see some mind blowing pencil portrait work as well. So much talent out there, it's inspiring.<BR/>All my best,<BR/>ToddTodd Bonitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01106002893113309433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18288359.post-27965606516973422392007-05-24T17:00:00.000-07:002007-05-24T17:00:00.000-07:00Hi Todd.

Your comment about hoping to keep the dramatic spirit when you add color just made me think, "What?! If anyone can do it, he can!" Looking back through your blog, I was so impressed with your ability to bring a piece through so many stages of work without losing a thing. I'm constantly working on that myself. <BR/>(By the way, we met briefly at Foreside a few years back... I did some freelance work for Claire.)Elizabeth A Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15778597192120050051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18288359.post-6797476157837202152007-05-24T09:32:00.000-07:002007-05-24T09:32:00.000-07:00Thanks for saying Michael.

This is my second attempt at painting this baseball, the first one is in a landfill somewhere. Fingers crossed on this finish.<BR/>Be good,<BR/>ToddTodd Bonitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01106002893113309433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18288359.post-44992942672414307332007-05-23T15:00:00.000-07:002007-05-23T15:00:00.000-07:00This underpainting shows superb drawing skill.
