During the COVID period, I spent time drawing the people closest to me. This graphite study of Vinny, my longtime companion, was created directly from life as we sat together. I concentrated on the familiar contours of his face, his gentle expression, and the subtle variations of light and shadow. Working from life allowed me to capture an ordinary moment through direct observation, preserving something personal about someone I have known and loved for so many years.
