Self-Portrait
From my last drawing lesson. Our instructor had us cover a paper with graphite, and then draw by erasing and using a pencil (9B) to add only the darkest shadows back in. I think it's a pretty good likeness of me. Better than any other self-portrait I've done.

It's funny - I could have sworn I commented on this already! Well, I guess it didn't take the first time, so I'll do it all over...
Welcome! My name is Alison Murray Whittington. I am an artist and mapmaker currently living in the Tidewater area of Virginia with my husband in a wacky house built long before we were born.
I have also worked as a television producer, a journalist and a bookseller, and I have also lived in Southern California, Nevada, Philadelphia, eastern Germany and the Czech Republic.
I love bright colors, books of all sorts, quirky art, fairy tales, subtle jokes and artificial fruit flavors.
I can be reached at paintandink at gmail dot com.

Beautifully done, Alison - I love its soft focus.
