Illustration Friday “E is for...”

Erika, my youngest of 3 daughters, who is a phenomenally talented artist. This is a pastel self portrait she did a couple of years ago (without any formal art training). After obsessing over possibilities for this week's illustration, I decided to go with the first thing that popped into my head. So, Erika, this “E” is for you.

I can only echo - lovely!

Linda said...

Please tell Erika that this is a lovely portrait -- I hope she continues to play with her art, because she really is good.

Thanks Linda...Erika has completed a year at the Art Academy of Cincinnati. She plans to pursue a career in art...but not sure at this point, what that will be. My husband (Cosmo) and I have been art director/graphic designers for 20+ years, so she's seen the good and the bad...and the downright ugly.
