6. Kate


My beautiful niece.  And my first request.  Almost immediately, people started asking me to draw them and Kate was the first. 

So - since I actually was out of charcoal, this drawing was done with a graphite pencil that I found in my couch.  All line, no smearing.  A good likeness I think.  The sunglasses and earphones and blowing hair attach it to a specific moment in time and give it context.  But it’s a little stiff, so I’m still not there yet.

Kate wasn’t really thrilled about it either.  Later, when I asked her if she wanted it …she politely declined.  (I also made amends to Kate.)
